00:00 Host School is brought to you by Colgate. Smile on.
00:03 The Just Kids Emergency Medical Limited private facility opened its doors to the public today.
00:19 But its three directors say it's been a vision and project of theirs a few years in the making.
00:27 And its launch on Friday represented a culmination of a lot of hard work and dreams
00:32 to be able to finally provide this service.
00:52 The team at Just Kids Emergency says they hope to eliminate the stress many parents face when
00:59 their children have an emergency in the middle of the night or on a holiday and they can't go
01:04 to their pediatrician. They simply want to be seen quickly or they just want to avoid the hospital
01:10 experience altogether. It's about wholism and augmentation so we're not here at all to
01:19 replace or even attempt to replace the pediatricians. We're the interconnect between the
01:23 pediatric service and the hospital. We're the grey area where if you can't see a pediatrician
01:30 and you don't want to go to the hospital you can get us. If you're really sick and you have to be
01:35 doing emergency you go there but we're the in-between where the holistic aspect and the
01:41 augmentation of it. The facility offers general pediatric clinics, pediatric orthopedic clinic,
01:48 wound care clinic, first seizure clinic, pediatric surgery clinic, ENT and palliative care services.
01:55 The main thing the crux of it is that you will be seeing a specialist when you come here. The
02:01 person you'll be seeing will not be a host or a junior doctor it will be a senior doctor
02:07 at each time. So you come here you can have entire range and you see a specialist. The team of Dr
02:14 Sean Matthews, Dr Joanne Paul and Dr Paula Robertson says they are now ready to meet,
02:22 treat and care for children and their families through their 24/7 pediatric emergency care
02:28 service. The Just Kids Emergency Medical Limited is located at number 10 Broom Street, St. Clair,
02:36 Port of Spain. I'm Cindy Raghubar-Tikasingh with tonight's House Call.
