WILLIAMS-PHILLIPS… her mantra is ‘place the children first’
NEVER let it be said that it is an easy task to take on the 'establishment' full frontal and win the battle, but that is what consultant congenital cardiologist Dr Sandra Williams-Phillips did when on March 11 she won a $4.3 million defamation of character lawsuit against the Bustamante Hospital for Children (BHC) in the Supreme Court.
In early 2010, Dr Williams-Phillips, whose mantra is 'place the children first' and who is easily among the most qualified and accomplished medical professionals in her speciality, was not just fired from the BHC, but a message was placed on sections of walls on the compound stating that she is not allowed entry. In other words, she was made persona non grata by the administrative body there.
Following that, an injunction was filed to bar her from entering the University Hospital of the West Indies (UHWI). In 2010, the Ministry of Labour ruled that she should be reinstated, but that did not stop the administrators from having their way.
