Claim: Leader of the main opposition in Parliament Hon. Abdul Kargbo asserts that Dr. Jeredine George, a specialist Obstetrician Gynecologist, has been replaced after her public outcry regarding the loss of a child due to lack of electricity.
Verdict: FALSE
Context: Dr. Jeredine George, a specialist Obstetrician Gynecologist, garnered attention after her emotional plea for better working conditions and patient care at the Princess Christian Maternity Hospital (PCMH) in Sierra Leone. The opposition leader, Hon. Abdul Kargbo, claimed that she had been replaced, implying a consequence for her public statement.
Evidence: However, a statement from Dr. Jeredine George herself contradicts this claim, affirming that she has not been demoted and is still advocating for improvements in healthcare.
Furthermore, the Ministry of Health released a press statement dated April 24th, 2024, confirming Dr. Amadu Sesay's appointment as the medical superintendent at PCMH. This statement implies that Dr. George was not the substantive holder of the position and thus could not have been replaced.
Confidential sources within the Health Ministry also dismissed the opposition leader's claim as a distraction to the cause.
Conclusion: The claim made by the opposition leader that Dr. Jeredine George was replaced due to her public outcry is debunked. Both Dr. George herself and official statements from the Ministry of Health confirm that she remains in her position and continues her advocacy for better healthcare conditions.
