Medical centre offers free scan

MEDICAL Chief of Staff at the St Clair Medical Centre Dr Ronald Henry said yesterday the institution had offered to perform a free CAT scan on 10-year old Amit Moon. Moon was the victim of an accident last Sunday which left him in a critical condition,. His parents have been unable to raise the money for the CAT scan. Dr Henry said the offer was made following a report in Saturday’s Newsday, which highlighted the financial problems of  Amit’s parents. A CAT scan costs as much as $1,200, a medical source revealed. Henry said he did not know whether Moon’s parents had contacted other hospital authorities, or whether another concerned citizen had already rendered assistance, but the offer still stands. Amit’s parents are asked to contact the St Clair Medical Centre.
