Changes to Tobago's ambulance service are coming. This from Health Secretary Dr Faith Brebnor, as she spoke to the media in Tobago addressing a 45 minute delay in
transporting a visitor, from the Pigeon Point beach to the Scarborough General Hospital, last Friday. More in this report.
00:00The way I look at things is to look at the entire whole to make sure that all of the parts that come together actually make sense.
00:07So we are doing it for the ambulance service.
00:11One of the things we are actually hoping to improve is the type of service you actually get on the ambulance.
00:16Right now, for example, what you get in essence is glorified transportation.
00:21What we want to do is improve the actual facilities on the ambulance and improve the technical capacity of the staff on the ambulance so that they can do more work on the way to the health facility.
00:36Dr. Brabner said great medical support in the health care sector remains a priority.
00:42The fact is that we are trying our best to provide great medical support to everyone who is on the island.
00:53And that includes people who reside on the island and people who visit the island.
00:58She commended staff at the TRHA for their dedication to duty.
01:03As you see, we've done quite a good job at protecting our visitors.
01:08We've had the issues with the shark attack.
01:10We've had all of those other issues that we've done such a good job at.
01:13And we continue to do that.
01:15And I think I want to congratulate the members of the Tobago Regional Health Authority because they continue to show that they go above and beyond whenever they are called to because that is their job.
01:25And I want to congratulate them for keeping doing that.
