Letter to the Minister of Health

THE EDITOR: A nation’s health is its wealth. The people who work in health need to be having some wealth, security and respect granted unto them.

New health risks added to the already long list of diseases out here are putting hospital attendants and other medical staff at risk everyday. The hospital attendant is at the forefront of the battle for a healthier nation and need re-classification now. I am calling on the Minister of Health, PSA, CPO to deal with this matter urgently. This group of well-trained medical officers is leaving the shores of this country. Incentive and a training structure are necessary now to keep these good medical officers.

The introduction of the RHA health has seen its worst period in the history of this nation with reported misuse of public funds and high salaries for people who are not trained hospital administrators, who dont even know that there are different  wheelchairs and trolleys for different departments in a hospital. The hospital attendants cannot function in the best interest of health and safety because of these square pegs in round holes. Every piece of equipment has a warranty and at present all the trolleys and wheelchairs need to be replaced at our nation’s institutions, this is no time to talk cost here, now is the word Minister Colm Imbert. Kill the RHA we have paid our debt, look at the suffering taking place, take back control, Ministry of Health.
