Kevin Bernard, Minister of Health and Wellness

“I want to extend our deepest condolences on behalf of myself, the ministry, but the wider government and the wider general who have gotten in contact with Dr. Cuellar one way or the other, whether it was a personal conversation I had with Dr. Cuellar when I became the minister in a private discussion and his adamant position on wanting to see better in the public sector and he was right in many ways. He was a very vocal individual but very right in his position. A lot of people may not agree with many things he said, but at the end of the day he wanted better for the country. He wanted to see our health care system improve. He wanted to see life improve and it is so sad he had to encounter such an issue and lost his life, sadly.”
