San Ignacio Community Hospital Comes Under Attack by Criminals

A recent incident at the San Ignacio Community Hospital has also raised concerns about the safety of the medical staff working at the public health facility. While police are seeking several individuals, they have been able to identify one person of interest who was involved in a noisy and unpleasant disturbance at the hospital.

 

Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police

“I am appalled by it, I must say.  I got a call the following morning from a doctor, the head doctor at the Western Regional Hospital and right away I put him on to Ms. Anderson who is the Western Regional Commander and the matter was addressed.  The police went to the area, statements were recorded, photographs were taken, the scene was processed and police have gathered video footage as well.  So we know exactly who the persons are that are responsible.  From then to now, we have not been able to locate those persons.  One of the persons of concern is, I think, Minor Galindo, he’s one of them.  Since then, he has not been seen in the San Ignacio area.  We understand that he had fled somewhere.  The fact that his brother had passed away, we believe that that might bring him out of his hole and once he is found then he will be dealt with along with another person who were the two main aggressors at the hospital.  But again, we condemn the actions done at the hospital.”
