Chief Executive Officer Neil Clark stated, “We take this matter extremely seriously. The safety and well-being of our staff, patients, and visitors is always our top priority.”
The matter is currently under review by hospital management in collaboration with the Barbados Police Service, with QEH offering full support to ensure all aspects are examined.
