Russell all of us are Gods creation whom he made the entire earth for. It is man who has set the boundries. We gat bigger issues in this country to worry about than putting more focus than need be on immigrants.
We have to stop using them as a smoke screen to our issues. Try focussing on some of the positive attributes they bring. Maybe we Bahamians need to learn a lesson from their unity that they have among one another. Maybe we'd stop the blood and carnage among ourselves.
I agree it is not the sole problem to healthcare I can say this because I am now on my 26th year in healthcare. I might add that when it comes to paying hospital fees, most Haitians are prepared with their money in hand. I have witnessed Bahamians who live in well off areas with good jobs who want you to "put it on my bill" and never pay. I sense a little racism here Russell.
The problem with healthcare in the Bahamas is that it is outdated. Various agencies in the health sector are severely underfunded, neglected and are left to operate with the bare bare minimum. Governments (both old and new) priorities are wrong. Granted tourism is our major industry, a part of the Chinese deal should have been to construct us a new hospital. They work like ants. Look at how far they are with the new hotel in Cable Beach. That’s what we need.
Companies such as Atlantis, Bahamar, Albany, Our Lucaya, the project in West End Grand Bahama, Lyford Cay, BORCO, Ship Yard, Container Port, and Port Authority should all be required to significantly invest or contribute to healthcare and the budget needs to be increased. All of these are owned by non-Bahamians but benefit from our healthcare. They should build and equip hospitals here and in Grand Bahama and the government staff it. Lots of construction is happening at PMH while we are running out of parking. They should build a 3 or 4 story parking garage at the parking lot near the Nursing school and charge a small fee (not as expensive as the airport) to the public using the hospital and maximize the space going up a few stories on the hospital. Also the bed space needs to be increased by at least 2000-250 to suit the population of Nassau keeping in mind that there are also patients from the out islands. Out island clinics need to be at the standard of South Beach Clinic with some bed space for admission and a few added details.
