Good healthcare still available

THE EDITOR: I would like to make some positive comments about the public health service.

While enjoying the Easter weekend in Mayaro, I suffered some increasingly severe abdominal pains and ended up at the District Hospital. I was pleasantly surprised to have received excellent attention from extremely kind and courteous staff members. Everyone sought my best interest, from the greeting by the guards at the entrance to the efficiency of the nurses who admitted me and the professionalism of the Nigerian doctors who attended to my complaint. Even though there was a change of shift, I was never left alone until I was comfortable enough to go home. My family in the waiting room was also treated with courtesy. I would like to once again express my gratitude to the doctors, nurses and guards at the Mayaro District Hospital. May God’s guidance and blessing be with you always.
