Agree with previous posts. Clinics everywhere properly equipped and staffed is unrealistic and unsustainable in a country with our resources. we have to kill this mentality that expects Rum Cay, Ragged Island and other less populated and developed areas to have infrastructure like Nassau. there are better, more realistic options.

nice ambulance for photos but when they put you in it, where are they going to take you and what care will you get there? is there a hospital with trauma center at Mayaguana?

i don't see any control towers at the airports mentioned, so its up to the pilots i guess to pay attention. even in america with all their technology, they have close calls all the time.

here we go again. still trying to put a square peg into a round hole. Freeport is not designed for tourism. need to try something else. in my view this is just throwing good money after bad.

Rest assured they will regulate this to ensure it looks just like a taxi and there will be no benefit. we will continue to be among those lesser developed countries where you can't identify a taxi or book one.

they will have to tread carefully with this. Trump administration not too concerned about sovereignty talk. see the play with management of the Panama canal. the era of gun boat diplomacy is in play now.
