Haiti's government says the country's newly selected prime minister has been hospitalized in the capital of Port-au-PrincePORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti -- Haiti’s newly selected prime minister, Garry Conille, was hospitalized late Saturday in the capital of Port-au-Prince just days after arriving in the country, the government said. The person said he called high-ranking officials and told them Conille needed to be taken to the hospital. Conille was chosen as prime minister May 28 after a convoluted selection process. He previously served as Haiti’s prime minister from October 2011 to May 2012 under then President Michel Martelly. Earlier Saturday, Conille toured Haiti’s main international airport, which recently reopened after gang violence forced it to close for nearly three months.
