Former prime minister Bruce Golding has left Jamaica on Sunday for medical treatment.
Golding, who resigned from office last year ahead of elections last December, recently had back surgery. A second procedure was performed following some complications and sources have revealed that the former Prime Minister has travelled to Florida where he will undergo tests and possibly more surgery in the coming days.
The main opposition Jamaica Labor Party (JLP), which Golding previously headed, is expected to issue a statement on the matter.
Golding has kept a low profile since leaving office and has made very few public appearances since leaving Jamaica House, the official residence of the Jamaica Prime Minister.
