Students report bogus nursing school principal to cops

Mar 07, 2013 News

– call on other students to come forward

 

Some present and past students of the Guyana Health Care Education Institute located on Robb Street (next to Scotia Bank) are taking their concerns to higher authority.
Yesterday, they made a report to the Criminal Investigations Department (CID), with the hope that they would be refunded their monies. Several of the students who have completed their courses say that they are yet to receive any form of certification.
These students have made the first move towards “getting justice”, and are calling on their fellow students, both past and present, to join them in their quest to have the operator of the institute jailed.
“These students need to be more serious. They need to understand that this woman doesn’t make any sense. The sad part is that many of them know that, and yet all they do is just sit at home stressing over the money that they have wasted.
“This is the time when we need to put an end to this woman and her games or else she gon continue to do it to other people. Just like how we started out clueless and incurred losses, just so other people gon be,” one student noted.
It has been about one year since this nursing school has been in operation. Last week Ms Nanda Kissoon filed a writ against Glenn Lall, Adam Harris and National Media and Publishing Company seeking $50 million in damages for libel.
The writ included a photocopy of what purports to be a certificate of accreditation that expires on March 20, next, from the National Accreditation Council Guyana.
The woman who goes by many names including Nanda Kissoon and Nandranie Kissoon, also set up the ‘Inter-American Nursing School’ which was shut down several times by the Ministry of Health by the then Minister of Health, Dr. Leslie Ramsammy.
Back in 2009, Kissoon was arrested following complaints by scores of students to the Brickdam Police Station. She was ordered to refund students in excess of $250,000. She did make some restitution.
And, Dr Ramsammy has said that the Inter-American Nursing School which was located in Cummings Street may be engaged in fraudulent activities. He made clear that it had not been accredited by his Ministry.
Prior to 2009, the woman paraded under the alias of Dr. Nevita Basdeo, the owner of a laboratory called Instant Lab; another establishment which was investigated by then Health Minister Dr Ramsammy and the Health Ministry. The woman disappeared soon after.
This is the third time that the woman has resurfaced after defrauding large numbers of students. These students say that they are even willing to go to the courts with the support from their fellow students.
Kaieteur News understands that the woman and her establishment are being investigated by the Ministry of Health following reports in the media of the concerns expressed by students.
