It was publicly stated that Minister Wyatt-Ras was absent, untraceable (“spoorloos”), and that she had boarded a plane for a trip to Washington.
This information is incorrect. Minister Wyatt-Ras is in Aruba carrying out her ministerial duties, including managing the situation at the Horacio Oduber Hospital (HOH).
The Minister also clarified that there is no trip to Washington scheduled and that she will not be attending the publicly mentioned PAHO meeting. The Minister considers it important that information regarding her presence and schedule is presented accurately.
The HOH situation is being handled with the seriousness it deserves. The Government, AZV, and the Hospital are in discussions aiming to bring clarity to the situation and reach concrete, sustainable solutions.
“I am in Aruba, I am present, and I am addressing the situation with the seriousness it deserves. We are working to reach a sustainable solution, prioritizing the continuity of care and the well-being of the patient.”
