GEORGETOWN, Guyana, Sep. 11, CMC – The Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) on Thursday said the unauthorised video recording of a patient while she was receiving treatment in the emergency department is under Police investigation.
The GPHC did not name the affected patient. However, according to a report published by Guyana News Room, the probe is in relation to Lolita Callendar, popularly known as “Lola Doll” – a 33-year-old artiste, who was shot multiple times outside her home on Saturday night.
Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) says it takes the matter extremely seriously and has launched an internal investigation.
“Through this process, a suspect who is an orthopaedic technician was identified. It is important to note that the individual was not scheduled for duty at the time of the incident. The matter has since been handed over to the Guyana Police Force to be pursued under cybercrime laws,” the GPHC said in a statement.
“The GPHC wishes to remind all staff, patients and the general public that video recording or photography within our facility is strictly prohibited unless expressly authorized by Management. Any breach of this policy is a violation of patient privacy, hospital policy, professional ethics, and the trust placed in us by those who seek care.”
