NASSAU, Bahamas, Jul 23, CMC – Prime Minister Phillip Davis has successfully undergone surgery in the United States to address compression of his sciatic nerve, Health Minister Dr Michael Darville has said.

“The procedure was a very straightforward one and a positive recovery period is anticipated,” Darville said.

“The health and well-being of our nation’s leaders are of the utmost importance, and we appreciate the efforts of the medical professionals involved in the prime minister’s treatment and care,” he said.

Darville said that Davis is resting comfortably and recovering well, but it is not clear when Prime Minister Davis will return to country.
