The Parliamentary Sectoral Committee on Social Services last week conducted a walk-through at several health facilities in Region Six after which the committee’s chair, Dr. Karen Cummings lauded what she said were noticeable improvements within the regional health system.
The committee visited the Port Mourant Health Centre, Port Mourant Hospital, the National Ophthalmology Hospital, New Amsterdam Regional Hospital and the National Psychiatric Hospital. Dr. Cummings, a former Junior Minister of Public Health and Minister of Foreign Affairs, and currently a Member of Parliament for APNU+AFC, said, “It has been an eye-opener, of course, we have seen some changes.”
