PM to undergo further medical tests today

Prime Minister will undergo further medical tests on Saturday, according to a statement from the Office of the Prime Minister.

The two-sentence statement issued on Saturday said Dr Rowley "had a comfortable night and will have medical tests conducted this morning.

“We thank all of those well-wishers sending messages to, and prayers, for the PM at this time.”

On Friday, the Prime Minister checked himself into the West Shore Private Hospital in Cocorite after experiencing “discomfort.”

Doctors did a series of tests and he was kept overnight for observation.

Minister in the Office of the Prime Minister Stuart Young said on Friday the Prime Minister's visit to the hospital was a precautionary measure.

“Let’s wait and see what happens. The tests will be done, the doctors will give the advice and the prime minister, I am sure, will heed the doctors' advice,” Young said.

Two years ago, the PM visited the United States for heart tests, after a plaque build-up was found in one of his arteries in an earlier check-up in 2016. The 2016 visit included tests for prostate cancer, for which he was given a clean bill of health.
