Government must take blame for the lapses in Health care delivery

Jun 10, 2013 Letters

Dear Editor,

Recently, the Health system has come in for a lot of criticism from the media, Stabroek and Kaieteur News

WhiIe some of the issues are inexcusable, there has to be a root to all of the problems – lack of effective stewardship and this has to come from the Ministry of Health, which has complete oversight over the Health Sector. The Government must take blame for the lapse in the delivery of health care, since we have overnight Doctors being left to manage wards unsupervised, nurses who did not necessarily want to do nursing messing with patients’ lives, and the Diamond Diagnostic Centre which has virtually become a rest shelter for some privileged Doctors.

These and other issues tell of a Ministry that is like a rudderless ship.  It is even alleged that some doctors use the public health institutions to admit their private patients.  More will come out but, Editor, expect a can of worms.
