Prime Minister Andrew Holness has weighed in on the controversy surrounding the death of a woman who had flu-like symptoms, and was reportedly denied services at more than one hospital.
The woman, whom he has identified as Jodian Fearon, died shortly after giving birth.
In a post via Twitter, the prime minister said he had been briefed by Minister of Health and Wellness, Dr Christopher Tufton about the incident.
He said Dr Tufton has assured him that a thorough investigation will be done, including a review of the established protocols “in and between the public and private health care systems to identify any possible general system weaknesses or specific operational breakdowns in the handling of this case.”
“We are aware that the COVID-19 epidemic is placing additional strain on our resources and increasingly complicating our response systems and daily lives, however, as a people we must never allow the epidemic to cause us to lose sight of our humanity,” he said in the statement.
those nurses are weed smokers
I mean…she prob would have died anyway. You don’t go to the hospital in the Caribbean unless you literally are dying and even still you have <10% chance of surviving. Had a friend sprain an ankle, was dumb enough to go to the hospital and they put him in a cast up to his knee for 6 weeks…FOR A SPRAIN!!!
What a disgrace.
So sad
This is not good Jamaica
Take their license or suspend them for two to three years
God will deal with you all.
