Yesterday, the St. Ann’s Bay Regional Hospital welcomed two Ghanaian officials for a stakeholder meeting as preparations continue for the arrival of two Ghanaian specialist nurses who will be stationed at the hospital.

During the meeting, the officials were briefed on the hospital’s operations, functions and the range of services offered, while discussions focused on supporting the smooth integration of the incoming nurses.

2 Chairs, 1 Table: Your Voice 🇯🇲

This time we set up at Boulevard Super Centre on Washington Boulevard and invited people to sit down and talk to me about public health.

We heard about long waits, challenges getting medication, dental care, eye care and even some services people did not know were available.

These conversations are useful. Sometimes I can answer a question right there. Sometimes we take a name and number so the team can follow up. And sometimes what we hear points to something in the system that we need to look at.

Thanks to everyone who stopped to talk with us.

Take a watch and tell me, if you had the chance to sit in the other chair, what would you want to talk about?
