A healthcare system in crisis

For the common knowledge remain unchanged, likewise is the posture taken, feigning ignorance as they profess being beyond reproach. Nevertheless, all evidentiary we noted, as they in mansions of unexplained wealth, boast that corrupt they’ve never been. And for this reason, the query was made of Vice News, who through further exploration, reduced one to King George VI stutters. However, they of abominable arrogance overlooked our concerns, proceeding post haste to confabulate more fantastical stories. Thus, lies we heard on Sputnik-V, Covid vaccine programme, Covid data and innumerably more. However, their exposure was unerringly swift, speaking truth to lewd lies, on record deaths and unapproved vaccines.

Henceforth, was Dr. Ramsammy grand entrance, presenting with Trumpian arrogance and stupidity, to deliver the most ridiculous accusation- APNU+AFC reversed their 23yrs healthcare gains. Then with Exxon oil lubricated vocal cords, he asserted with the confidence of a fool, that with 2yrs registered, the Healthcare Sector is now smashingly well. But unsatisfied he was with voluminous disinformation disseminated, thus he preached of PPP ‘achievements’– Building and repainting hospitals, Specialty Hospitals, transplants surgeries, cardiology interventions among others. So now happy as a clam, his glance was backwards, relaying the Buffoon Baton, to the renown Burnham Basher. But with an insurmountable lead being theirs, monthly stipend was guaranteed, despite his minimal cognitive effort. A solid year. PPP has had a solid year. And with that IDB intervened, abruptly bringing to a halt, their stupidity on steroids.

IDB exposure 
But with minimal excavation, decades old skeletons were unearthed- Where nearly all the hospitals are without treated water, basic medicines, electricity, or continuous water. Furthermore, 24 hospitals including GPHC are in states of disrepair, as many are without doppler machines, sterilisers, ultrasound machines, uterine evacuation equipment, sets for IUCD contraceptives insertion and cold storage for medicines and vaccines, including Covid-19 vaccines.

Additionally, no facilities exist for safe hazardous medical waste disposal, forcing the vast majority to undertake public burning of hazardous medical waste. Thus, with such an archaic healthcare, if one is with chest pains heralding a heart attack, at a health post or health centre, a horse ride maybe the fastest option, since the blue lights of an ambulance you are unlikely to see.

Having said that, GPHC remains a snail’s pace patient flow, thus occupancy is consistently above 100%, a harbinger to PPP days of two per bed. Thence, if breathlessly you await a ventilator, nine lifetimes is the wait, forcing many to take the route of preemptive death certificate, recognising the wait maybe futile. But even as minimal invasive surgery techniques are discussed in the rum shops, PPP remain oblivious, thus still inflicts grotesque abdominal scars, precluding any future bikini display. And of no healthcare planning, Alpha short-time counts more operating rooms than the GPHC six, thus elective and emergency surgeries, count only the fittest and richest. Then depressingly this, A&E has capacity for only half the patients presenting on any given day. The undertakers at the entrances, usually see the other half.

However, being in the seen cohort, means one will forever be seen, for journey to the wards is an exposed public exhibition.Then shockingly, A&E is without designated paediatric, psychological or isolation areas. Thus, if demented you are, in an acute confusional state, then in the noisy crowd of the waiting many you will be seated, even as you are of this delusional inquiry, why are all these strange people, in my bedroom?

Thenceforth, we transition to New Amsterdam Hospital, where nothing is new, for it’s counting two decades, yet there is still no outpatient clinics, inpatient wards, laboratory, sterilisation unit, administrative building or accomodation for medical and paramedical staff on call. And at Linden Hospital, the tragedy is repeated, abjectly ill-equipped to deliver a safe obstetric, neonatal child health service, and burns unit.

Mortality indices 
For this remain a most graphic IDB exposure, painting the excruciating image of a neglected healthcare, where basic healthcare parameters were not monitored.

Therefore, deaths we examine, exposing PPP neglected Healthcare as euthanasia centres, rather than hospitals. For among Latin America and Caribbean Countries, PPP healthcare is registered among the worst performing in Neonatal mortality(Baby deaths), Infant Mortality(Children Deaths), Maternal Maternity( Deaths of new mothers), Adult Mortality(adult deaths) along with lowest live expectancy, explanatory to our low retirement age.

Assessing hospitals
But what we experience are their neglected healthcare facilities, which also goes unmonitored. Thus, should they have these performance assessments, using established parameters of registered deaths, expected deaths, avoidable deaths, patients’ harm, never events, patients’ complaints, staff feedbacks, staff mandatory training, patient feedbacks, adherence to data protection etc, unambiguous would be the conclusion, that they are all unsafe, explanatory to the many painful deaths reported in the media.

For this is the message, the assessment of healthcare facilities safety, has less to do with painting hospitals, as PPP wants us to believe, but more to do with what occurs within the hospital. Where working in conjunction with the Medical and Nursing Councils, are the guardrails, that keep the public safe.

However, with over 8yrs UK Specialist experience, this is most certain- No doctor can claim to be Interventional Cardiologist, without the requisite training and certification. Furthermore, no doctor claiming to be Interventional Cardiologist, would be permitted to undertake cardiac interventions, not consistent with International standards.

For cardiac interventions could potentially damage heart muscles and blood vessels, which in the absence of cardiac surgery, leads to an inevitable painful death. Thus, the International recommendation is, when undertaking cardiac interventions, cardiac surgery must always be available, anticipatory of a serious complication. However, Dr. Mahendra Carpen who isn’t an Interventional Cardiologist, as per the Canadian and American regulatory bodies, compounds his lack of certification, by undertaking cardiac intervention without cardiac surgery backup. Therefore, if during a cardiac intervention, complication arises necessitating cardiac surgery, that patient will die, since unlike Balwant Singh Hospital, he callously has no cardiac surgery backup, summing up PPP, policy of protecting doctors, once they do their biddings.

Notwithstanding, PPP having been in power for 25 of the last 30yrs, are wholly responsible for the deplorable state of the healthcare sector. However, the medical council is equally culpable, having chosen to protect PPP rather than the public. Thus, with the consequences we live, as a Vice News disguised IDB, exposed their hidden skeletons.
