“With these storms that would be coming through the Region, if it is one facility or institution that should remain standing it should be a hospital. When I hear reports that the hospitals in the Grenadines are basically destroyed and people don’t know what has happened to the patients there, it is frightening.”
“A number of our Member States have made advances in addressing Human Resource for Health (HRH) challenges; however, the Region’s persistent and perennial problem of migration of healthcare workers and, more recently, the COVID-19 pandemic has severely intensified the gaps in availability, distribution and quality of HRH, and placed at peril, hopes for achieving universal access and universal coverage.”
