Where did all the 80+ Cuban nurses go, all the teachers?
There is no way the Cuban gov’t is going to allow their medical professionals to work w/o strings to the state and Davis&Co won’t have it either, they can’t afford to let them go to the States.
The better solution, ie. for Bahamian citizens would have been to beef up their nursing program at BC and hire the nurses who sit waiting for permission to practice their profession!
And that stupid feint and good money after bad to the Baptist College, their much ballyhooed ‘new nursing program’ is no such thing.
Students will pay tuition and outrageous fees (mire than a year at the Nursing Program at Bahamas College for a ‘introductory pre-college nursing program’, to get them ‘ready’ Thats all they have a that school, after a student graduates they’ll face the same 2 year program at BC with an additional year of fees as well, there’s no credit.
I had a chuckle when I read of Knowles procurement order for $12M worth of fire fighting equipment, because I recalled that not too long ago Davis&Co were heaping scorn on a FNM MP for suggesting the same amount calling it pitiful.
I suggest you consider the possibility that any enterprising criminal seeking entry without triggering the alarm would do his/her homework beforehand. I doubt many folks have alarmed ceilings and or roofs, so…!!
So the uber controlling communist state of Cuba is going to shrug their shoulders & allow their citizens to work in a capitalist society and keep their hard won earnings (at salary rates likely 50-100% more than their comrades in Cuba) instead of returning it to the Mother State?
When is Davis&Co going to stop treating their fellow citizens like children ever ready to believe their latest fiction and lies. And if us peons can see through this latest piece of PLP fiction, are they so arrogant, so egotistical to believe they’ve fooled Rubio et al?
More smoke and mirrors from Davis&Co’s fraudulent diviner.
Whenever this clown makes these preposterous announcements (which upon tabulation equals 100%), no detail and/or “no breakdown provided” is our red flag warning of severe BS ahead!
Chester the Jester as usual is lying thru his teeth. A “bump in the road” when Silver offered those flights to the Family Islands? And this bankruptcy is no reflection on the Bahamas or the finacial returns it offers to airlines? Give your head a shake CJ, after all the fees and taxes your government has burdened upon airlines and pilots flying here? Look at BahamasAir which has never made a profit or ended a year one penny in black!
This is more than just a ludicrous pipedream, it’s a profound corruption of the Bahamian public purse and health services. The program is slated to cost $7M but that’s far less than organ transplant centers in hospitals in the US. The reasoning? “More than 600 people rely on the country’s public dialysis services, a costly endeavor the government hopes to alleviate thru this program” The US and Brazil are the number 1 & 2 countries performing kidney transplants costing $400-$550k per procedure, Brazil is able to do 45 operations per million people a year-in their largest city centers. How can these numbers portend any hope for Bahamian kidney disease patients in their lifetime? How will the NIB support these hopes? Who among the current users of dialysis could afford half a million for this procedure? And how in a country begging for nurses afford to send them to another country to train for such? They are not, these nurses who need 2-4 years training in a specialized center are in Cuba or the Philippines etc. Trained MDs need to be imported.
The Bahamians who might get their lives back will be tokens.
And this statement, “when you transplant organs everything must be above board…there will be no selling of organs.” In the Bahamas? Who does this guy think he’s fooling?
There’s alot of surplus blood diamonds in the coffers of Botswana, who better to smuggle them than one traveling in a party not subject to customs protocols?
