Haiti’s new prime minister hospitalized days after being sworn in
Haiti’s new prime minister, Garry Conille, was hospitalized late Saturday in the capital of Port-au-Prince, AP reported.
It wasn’t immediately known why Conille was hospitalized.
In a statement posted to social media Saturday night, the prime minister's office said that Conille was taken to a hospital Saturday afternoon after feeling unwell following a week of "intense activities," describing him as being in stable condition.
Conille was chosen as prime minister on May 28 after a convoluted selection process. He arrived in Haiti on June 1, having worked outside the country until recently as UNICEF’s regional director for Latin America and the Caribbean, a post he assumed in January 2023. He previously served as Haiti’s prime minister from October 2011 to May 2012 under then-President Michel Martelly.
He faces the monumental task of alleviating the crises devastating the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere and preparing for the first elections since 2016.
