St. George: September 8, 2021: The Ministry of Health extends deepest condolences to the family of the late Dr. Darville Raye, House Officer in Pediatrics at the General Hospital.

Dr. Raye died suddenly Tuesday morning.

Health Minister, Honourable Nickolas Steele described the late doctor as a valuable member of the health care team. He said, “Dr. Raye has been providing yeoman service in the pediatrics department and is one of the stalwarts of the health care system. He was reliable, dependable, going above and beyond the call of duty and a ready volunteer to extra service. Dr.Raye was 33 years old, he had so much more to give. We will move on though because there’s still the emergency and the urgency of the COVID-19, despite the fact that we have lost one of our soldiers.”
