Bahamas, June 1st 2017 – Nassau – The new Health Minister is promising to expand and enhance the Princess Margaret Hospital and named were Accident and Emergency, the Maternal Child Wing and the air conditioning. Space shortages and quality of experience at the Princess Margaret Hospital are infamous. Minister Dr. Duane Sands, at a press conference following his first official tour on Monday confirmed these plans in addition to the implementation of a National Blood Bank and a Coroner’s Facility.
The minister also stated that despite the issues the Health Care system faced under the former government, including projects that were prematurely stopped, projects would now become a reality. “We could take some time and wonder how it is that they were stalled or why they were stopped, but the charge now is to get things back up. The charge is to now introduce a level of quality and satisfaction so that Bahamian people can say that when they come to healthcare institutions anywhere throughout The Bahamas that their perceived satisfaction is elevated, that the quality of care that they get is improved.”
Dr. Sands also emphasised the significance of nurses in the health care system stating, “We have got to embrace our nurses and let them understand that they are particularly important.” While highlighting challenges and future plans, Dr. Sands confidently stated,“We are going to make this flagship institution one that all Bahamians can be truly proud of.”
