KINGSTOWN, St. Vincent – Prime Minister Dr. Ralph Gonsalves has been released from the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Barbados where he spent the weekend receiving treatment for an abscess, Foreign Affairs Minister Dr. Douglas Slater has announced.
He said Gonsalves was released last night.
Gonsalves, who fell ill last Wednesday as he prepared for official visits to Kuwait and Qatar, was forced to seek medical attention in Barbados, after his condition deteriorated.
“He is recuperating satisfactorily and was assessed by his doctors to be well enough to continue his recovery out of the hospital. He will however continue to rest and receive any necessary follow-up medical care and hopes to return home in St Vincent by the weekend,” Dr. Slater said.
“He again wishes to convey his sincerest gratitude to the many persons who have wished him well and have been praying for his speedy recovery,” the statement added. (CMC)
