Georgetown, GINA, January 9, 2004

Minister of Health Dr. Leslie Ramsammy is out of the hospital, but it may be sometime before he is able to return to work.
Head of the Presidential Secretariat and Cabinet Secretary Dr. Roger Luncheon at a Media briefing gave this update on the Minister’s health.
Minister Ramsammy had undergone his second triple bypass heart surgery.
Today, the HPS reported that the Minister is in a stable condition and is resting at his Long Island home in the United States.
“Dr. Ramsammy’s return to service of course would depend on medical advice to be tendered by physicians, but this is not expected to be any time soon,” Dr. Luncheon said.
In Minister Ramsammy’s absence, the Minister of Public Service Dr. Jennifer Westford, is holding his portfolio.
