HEAD of the Presidential Secretariat and Cabinet Secretary, Dr. Roger Luncheon was yesterday afternoon discharged from the Caribbean Heart Institute. 

Speaking with the Guyana Chronicle outside of the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation as the Cabinet Secretary was being taken to his car after being discharged, Agriculture Minister Dr. Leslie Ramsammy recalled that Dr. Luncheon was attending Cabinet meeting yesterday morning when he had to be rushed to hospital.
Said Dr. Ramsammy: “Dr. Luncheon wasn’t feeling well this morning. He came to the Cabinet meeting despite the fact that he wasn’t well, and during the Cabinet meeting, he had something to drink and vomitted; so we brought him to the hospital. The emergency doctors have checked him out; he was dehydrated, and that’s the cause for him not feeling well. They have re-hydrated him by treating him with saline. He is well, as you can see, and going home.” Dr. Luncheon was discharged around 14:15 hrs.
Meanwhile, as he was being discharged, the Cabinet Secretary was surrounded by supportive Cabinet members who had spent several hours at his bedside during his period of hospitalization.
