Dear Editor,
I am viewing with some apprehension the article in which the Health Minister is indicating that some newly trained doctors are being deployed to serve across the country. From a layman’s point of view, these newly trained doctors should remain at the main Hospitals in Central Georgetown where they can attain some experience before being sent out to especially Hinterland areas.
These ‘newly trained’ doctors should be placed where they could be monitored and not sent to use patients out there as guinea pigs.
As I am on this subject, the opportunity is taken to inform the senior officials at the Ministry of Health that there is a young female Doctor working at the Mabaruma Hospital who treats patients very terribly. She shouts and embarrasses them, comes when she likes and goes when she likes. She appears to be untouchable. Same treatment for young people and seniors. Is this part of the delivery of proper health care? We need for this Doctor to be removed from this location. Mabaruma Resident
