Alliance for Change Leader, Raphael Trotman,Terrell Brandon Cavaliers Throwback Jersey, yesterday reported to media operatives that a team from his party recently travelled to the mining town of Linden to protest conditions at the medical institutions there.Trotman said that the Presidential and Prime Ministerial Candidates of the party,Boomer Esiason Bengals Throwback Jersey, Khemraj Ramjattan and Sheila Holder, along with other AFC executives spearheaded the protest at the Mackenzie hospital in Linden.He said that the peaceful picketing of the so called ‘State of the Art’ hospital was called in the wake of the increasingly moribund (dilapidating) condition of the health sector in the mining town of Linden.Trotman told media operatives that at the State of the Art Mackenzie hospital, the AFC discovered that it lacks an intensive care unit, a proper operating theatre as well as the vital ultra sound equipment.“It has been brought to the attention of the AFC that a relatively new hospital building is already showing tangible signs of deterioration.”He said that Lindeners have complained that too many critically ill patients have to be transferred to Georgetown for treatment.This,Kevin Mchale Celtics Throwback Jersey, he said,Jason Kidd Mavericks Throwback Jersey, is largely as a result of an inadequate supply of specialist doctors.Trotman said,Larry Johnson Chiefs Throwback Jersey, too, that it has been brought to the attention of the AFC that the Wismar Hospital has one of its vital mortuary units down.Nurses, he said, have indicated to the AFC that with such a situation, if the other was to be affected,Jimmie Foxx Red Sox Throwback Jersey, Wismar would experience a serious public health problem.“This hospital has experienced over the years an affected access to running water as well as basic lighting infrastructure…The AFC has learnt that this hospital, moreover, is seriously limited by an inadequate supply of the relevant drugs.”Trotman said too that the Kwakwani hospital is completely neglected and derelict.“Here again, there is the entrenched prevalence of no doctors, inadequate running water and an insufficient supply of drugs…Lindeners have complained to the AFC that the Upper Demerara hospital is being stigmatized as an HIV hospital.”The Prime Ministerial Candidate Holder explained that this is because that hospital has been assigned to deal with HIV cases any other person referred to that hospital are being stigmatized as being afflicted.“They have asserted that this is unfair and unjust and must be addressed immediately,” Trotman said.He said that his party asserts that the basic physical infrastructural maladies which affect the health sector in Linden must be remedied immediately.“Because these problems are largely beyond the notice of the ‘new opposition’ media in Georgetown,NHL Throwback Jerseys, it is assumed by the administration that they will go unobserved and unchallenged.”He said that the nurses, who service these hospitals,Carlton Fisk Red Sox Throwback Jersey, the AFC submits,Rick Martin Sabres Throwback Jersey, are grossly underpaid and are laboring under oppressive terms and conditions of work.“The AFC submits that nurses perform an invaluable and Herculean role in the indispensable health sector and must be paid a living wage…The AFC will promptly effect this change when it gets into office,” the AFC leader said.He said that his party further submits that the under resourced condition of the health sector in Linden is only one component of the underdevelopment that has taken place there.The AFC believes that the Linden economy is in serious need of a potency dose. The AFC in its Action Plan has enunciated its prognosis for the economic and social revitalization of Linden and by extension Region Ten. |
