Dr. Griffin Benjamin, head of Clarevue Psychiatric Hospital, has been placed on administrative leave by Antigua’s Minister of Health, Molwyn Joseph, less than a year after his appointment.

Sources say tensions had been growing between the two, reportedly over health-related disagreements. The move follows Dr. Benjamin’s alleged refusal to provide reports on the admission of a medical student and a related full medical report.

The case involves a student from the American University of Antigua who was admitted to Clarevue from 15 to 27 August. The student’s family filed a complaint alleging mistreatment, prompting an official investigation by the Ministry of Health.

Dr. Benjamin, a Dominica-born psychiatrist with experience in both Dominica and Antigua, also works privately in St John’s and provides mental health services to students at Ross University School of Medicine in Barbados.

The ministry has not indicated how long his leave will last and offered no further comment on the investigation.

  1. LOL Okidoki…So let me Minister Molwyn Joseph’s handling of the Clarevue Hospital matter raises serious concerns about his judgment and leadership. Placing Dr. Griffin Benjamin a highly experienced and respected psychiatrist on administrative leave less than a year into his tenure, reportedly over the refusal to submit reports, suggests an overreach that undermines professional autonomy. But thats the way it is in the field yes. Believe me we know

  2. When hospital does anything to citizen Joseph says nothing, but when American rude, out of control disrespectful drug using children comes to foreign countries, rejected by universities and parents, will hit workers Mr. Joseph wants to finish a respectable man career, his health department need a overhaul beginning with supplies and proper staffing please stop.

  3. My anger issues will not allow me to say what I really wanted to say….but this one question tho, is it about ANU/ DA or is it about health?
    Is Molwin an Antiguan, and does he care about Antiguan’s health issues?

  4. Dios Mio. The two narcissists have FINALLY clashed.
    The poor clarevue residents, but thankfully we have our very own dr.d’silva.
    And Chantel Joseph, who molwyn fell out with so long ago.
    When molwyn hate you, it’s real real… the lies the spite, the venom, the demotion and the circumventing
    Both ah dem finally meet dem match

  5. HOLD MY CARIB BEER!!! 🍻

    So tell me someting. Molwyn ‘Don’t Give a Damn’ Joseph is behind placing a qualified and hardworking physician like Dr. Griffin Benjamin on administrative leave (aka translation. Suspension), yet Molwyn isn’t held accountable for the devastation he caused during Covid-19?

    Was Dr Benjamin behind the injuries of many Antiguans like Joseph during the pandemic? I think not!

    Was Dr Benjamin involved in the transportation of AstraZeneca from countries like the UK and Denmark into Antigua & Barbuda? I very much doubt it?

    Did Dr Benjamin promote free KFC 🍗 🍗 🍟🥤 for mRNA vaccines? Not a chance in hell – where Molwyn will eventually end up if he doesn’t own up and repent of his sins.

    When will those who govern us be eventually held to account for ANYTHING?

  6. And yet the ABLP TEAM CLAIMS THEY HAVE THE YOUNG PEOPLE IN LINE AND UPP IS OLD PEOPLE WITH OLD WAYS OF THINKING BUT GUESS WHAT FOLKS, THE OLD PEOPLE IS WHO RUNNING THIS CURRENT GOVERNMENT… this is a joke and these guys are jokers messing up Antiguans health care Good NAME AND ECONOMY …

  7. Im sure you all recognize that Antiguans dont like foriegners in their place running the show. But foriegners run yall ports, media houses, ministries, barbershops and everywhere else. Make out
