PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad, Wednesday February 8, 2012 – Former Prime Minister
Patrick Manning is now in Washington DC undergoing further treatment after
suffering a stroke two weeks ago.
Manning was released from Trinidad’s San Fernando General Hospital early
Monday morning and flown by air ambulance to the Walter Reed National Military
Medical Centre for further treatment accompanied by his wife Hazel Manning.
His son, Brian Manning said his father was pleased with the facility and was
expected to start physiotherapy sessions yesterday. The length of the stay is
yet to be determined, but the former leader is expected to undergo
physiotherapy, speech and occupational therapy at the hospital.
The cost of the medical treatment is being funded by the Trinidad government at
a cost of $900,000. Click here to receive free news bulletins via email from
