Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre (SLBMC) has launched a formal investigation into reports of threatening behaviour directed at healthcare workers in its Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), according to Antigua News Room.
Hospital management initiated the probe immediately after receiving a formal report of the incident, acting in line with established safety protocols.
SLBMC maintains a strict zero-tolerance policy toward violence, threats, and intimidation of any kind against its staff — particularly within sensitive clinical environments such as the NICU, where healthcare workers provide critical care to newborns and their families.
The investigation is ongoing, and no further details regarding the nature of the incident or those involved have been released at this time.
