The PS was commended for being fast to quickly realize that the woman reading the memo may have been having serious health challenges as his quick intervention had saved an unpalatable situation that may have ensued, and obstruct the meeting continuity.

This action of the PS threw every other director into safety action just as health workers stationed at the meeting venue final intervention also finally stabilized the woman.

Council members commended the professionalism and responsiveness demonstrated by the PS with his directors, and the medical team.
