Corbin suffers Heart attack!

MR. ROBERT Corbin, Leader of the Opposition and the main opposition People’s National Congress Reform, was yesterday admitted to the Woodlands Hospital in Georgetown after suffering a massive heart attack, party officials said.

A party statement said he was hospitalised after complaining of feeling unwell and his condition was being “evaluated to determine treatment option.”

It said General-Secretary, Mr. Oscar Clarke, will keep the public informed of any future developments.

Hospital and party sources confirmed that Corbin had a massive heart attack and was under intensive care in the hospital.

Longstanding member and Registrar of the University of Guyana, Mr. Vincent Alexander, reacting to Corbin’s illness, said “I hope he recovers.”

Corbin, a party stalwart, was elected PNC chairman in 2000 and retained the role in 2002. He was chosen to lead the party in 2003 following the death of former President Desmond Hoyte.
