The Ministry of Health, under the guidance of Prime Minister and Minister of Health the Honourable Dr. Terrance Drew, took quick actions today, Friday, October 14, 2022, to ensure that a challenge that affected the work being carried out at the Haemodialysis Unit at the Joseph N. France General Hospital was rectified.
Prime Minister Dr. Drew, during a visit to the Haemodialysis Unit this evening, explained that the hospital was experiencing a challenge in acquiring bloodlines for the haemodialysis machines and that challenge affected the quality of care being delivered.
“There was a challenge in getting the bloodlines for the dialysis machines and so I think the staff quickly had to improvise and make sure that they dealt with the situation [by changing] up the shift in which people are given dialysis, and I want to thank them for being innovative with respect to dealing with the challenge,” said Dr. Drew.
