Former Prime Minister of St Vincent and the Grenadines Sir James Mitchell, who fell ill on Saturday, is now resting comfortably at a private hospital in Barbados.
News784 spoke with Dwight “Bing” Joseph, the son-in-law of Sir James, who told us that Mitchell is currently at the hospital’s ICU unit, and is in stable condition.
Joseph told News784 that the state covered the cost and all arrangements to have the former Prime Minister flown to Barbados.
On Wednesday Joseph told News784 that the family’s call for blood donation after Sir James was diagnosed with Dengue was overwhelming.
“It was just phenomenal; persons came from all walks of life to donate blood. The leader of the Opposition, Dr Godwin Friday was the first to do so. Although there is a political divide, individuals from both sides donated blood”.
Sir James was Hospitalized at the Port Elizabeth Hospital on Saturday before being rushed via Coast Guard to the mainland.
The former Prime Minister, who is 90 years of age, lives on the Northern Grenadine island of Bequia.
