The Prime Minister had an emergency procedure on Saturday to clear blocked arteries in his heart. He was due to remain under his doctors’ care afterwards for a second night at the private West Shore Medical Centre in Cocorite.
A statement from the Office of the Prime Minister (OPM) issued at 5.30 pm said Dr Rowley underwent two procedures, an angiogram (a test), followed by an angioplasty.
Both “went well,” the release said, and Rowley was "resting comfortably."
