NASSAU, BAHAMAS – Former Prime Minister Dr. Hubert A. Minnis has revealed, exclusively to Eyewitness News (EWN), that former Minister of Health Renward Wells is in hospital undergoing various tests; but, asserted that he has not suffered a heart attack as suggested in an online tabloid published Wednesday afternoon.

"Desmond Bannister, other Free National Movement (FNM) colleagues and myself were just there (in hospital) visiting Wells and he is in fine spirits and did not suffer a heart attack," Dr. Minnis asserted.

While Dr. Minnis did not share why Wells is currently undergoing various tests, he noted that Wells will "most likely be transferred to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) because it will provide a bit more comfort for him as he awaits the completion of his tests."

Wells' family is currently accompanying him in hospital and the former health minister is said to be in good condition, according to Dr. Minnis.
