Dr Oyinloye Steps Down As Chief Medical Officer
Dr Ayoola Oyinloye recently stepped down as the Chief Medical Officer, and Dr. Shaun Ramroop has been appointed to act as Chief Medical Officer until further notice.
A Government spokesperson said, “The Chief Medical Officer, Dr Ayoola Oyinloye, recently stepped down as the Chief Medical Officer for personal reasons. Dr. Oyinloye took over as Bermuda’s new Chief Medical Officer, following the retirement of Dr. Cheryl Peek-Ball on August 31st 2020.
“Dr. Oyinloye previously served as the Deputy Director of Public Health and Consultant in Public Health for Swindon Borough Council, in the United Kingdom. He is an experienced epidemiologist, and was steeped in managing the pandemic in his community in the United Kingdom.
“Dr. Oyinloye trained as a doctor at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria and had his postgraduate training in the Universities of Ibadan and Liverpool [UK]. He is a Fellow of the Faculty of Public Health [UK].”
Minister Wilson said, “I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for Dr Oyinloye’s incredible contributions during his time at the Ministry of Health. His dedication, hard work, and positive attitude have left an indelible mark on all of us at the Ministry of Health. I am particularly grateful for his expert guidance and invaluable assistance during the COVID-19 pandemic.”
“Dr Ayo was key to our pandemic response. After Dr Peek-Ball retired, Dr Ayo jumped in and helped us navigate the challenges of the pandemic. Our medical community and the people of Bermuda were fortunate to have his exceptional leadership. We will miss Dr Ayo and wish him all the best.”
The spokesperson said, “Before stepping down, Dr Oyinloye released his first Annual Report; the Chief Medical Officer’s Annual Report 2023: A Post-Pandemic Focus on Health Inequalities, which is an independent assessment of the state of health in Bermuda.”
“I have written this report as a short thematic essay that sits alongside longer, more technical reports such as the Bermuda Joint Strategic Needs Assessment of Health 2023 and Health in Review 2023. The underlying data used to write this report is presented in a supplementary appendix,” explained Dr. Oyinloye.
“The publication of the Chief Medical Officer’s Annual Report in Bermuda has been delayed for several years, partly due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which dominated the attention of all those working in the Ministry of Health.”
The spokesperson said, “In the report, Dr Oyinloye highlights health inequalities in the post-pandemic era and how COVID-19 enormously impacted health, including its upstream determinants disrupting normal economic and social life.
“The report’s key messages are:
- 1. Bermuda continues to show considerable societal inequalities, linked to socioeconomic status, race, sex, and migration status.
- 2. There is a lack of robust, population-wide data on health inequalities, particularly data that can directly link health status with socioeconomic/information on disparities.
- 3. The current health system is a driver of health inequalities. Lack of universal health coverage is resulting in many of those with the greatest health needs being unable to access necessary healthcare.
- 4. COVID-19 is likely to have exacerbated societal and health inequalities, although the full impact of the pandemic remains uncertain.
- 5. Bermuda has a unique opportunity to address health inequalities through the Bermuda Health Strategy 2022-2027 and the planned Universal Health Coverage programme.
- 6. There is a need to develop measurable and objective indices of deprivation and inequalities. This will assess the scale of the issues in Bermuda and monitor progress in addressing the issues.”
“This is a significant report consisting of key data, charts and statistics, giving us a broad overview of the health of our country,” said Minister of Health Kim Wilson “The information in this report will assist the Ministry of Health with our long-term health plans.”
The spokesperson said, “The full report is here. Dr. Shaun Ramroop, Senior Medical Officer, in the Department of Health, has been appointed to act as Chief Medical Officer until further notice.”

He’s done enough damage now he’s getting out of Dodge. SMH!
Almost reads like an advertisement for Govt run healthcare. Say what they want then run for the tall timbers. What a MESS.
I presume he pointed out the wastage and ‘issues’ within BHB. Had to go.
No. Kim Wilson did the damage
Ms”Idon’t have that information in front of me’ would have been fired in the real world.
They both did the damage. The make believe doctor and the puppet politician.
Is there anything in the report on how totally unprepared Bermuda was to handle a health issue like covid? How no one in the Ministry of Health even asked common sense questions on the projections? Are there any questions about the UK “expert” modeler who has never been right in his career and was caught breaking UK quarantine (established based upon his flawed projections) having an affair with a married woman? Why did no one question his models? Why are Bermuda taxpayers paying for these government officials?
Is there a section discussing how Bermuda’s doctors refused to acknowledge any adverse reactions to the “vaccine?”
WHY NOT? If anyone has the answers to these question, please let me know.
Thank you.
Thank you for your service Dr. Oyinloye maybe we can get a local to step up take the responsibility for the job instead of throwing guest workers under and over the bus we have difficult decisions need to be made.
Deaths globally 20 million due to the clot shot and 2 billion serious adverse reactions from the shot and still climbing
“2 billion serious adverse reactions”
1/4 of the world population had serious adverse reactions to a “clot shot”?
