Spe­cial­ist med­ical of­fi­cer Dr Joel Teelucks­ingh, who has been cleared of wrong­do­ing near­ly two months af­ter the South West Re­gion­al Health Au­thor­i­ty (SWRHA) launched an in­ves­ti­ga­tion in­to an ar­ti­cle he wrote, said the or­deal has strength­ened his com­mit­ment to speak­ing the truth.

Teelucks­ingh, who works at the San Fer­nan­do Gen­er­al Hos­pi­tal, was placed on ad­min­is­tra­tive leave fol­low­ing the March 21 pub­li­ca­tion of his ar­ti­cle, The Em­per­or’s New Hos­pi­tal. Then Health Min­is­ter Ter­rence Deyals­ingh or­dered his im­me­di­ate re­in­state­ment.
