Island Public Hospital Resumes All Services Following Hurricane Beryl
Services at the island's public hospital have resumed after Hurricane Beryl. Operations are back to normal with minor damage addressed. Patients can contact the hospital for rescheduling appointments.
All services have resumed at the island’s public hospital following the passage of Hurricane Beryl yesterday.
Corporate Communications Specialist at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Shane Sealy told Barbados TODAY that operations had resumed as usual yesterday evening as there had been “very, very minor damage” at the Martindales Road facility and most had already been addressed.
“Once the national shutdown was discontinued and the all-clear was given, we resumed normal services and visiting hours from six o’clock. Meanwhile, our clinics will open as normal (today) as well as our pharmacies,” he said.
Sealy also advised those patients whose surgeries or appointments were postponed due to the passage of the weather system to contact the hospital’s Patient Advice and Liaison Service at 536-4800 to be rescheduled.
“We are getting things back on track and we want them to reach out to us so we could let them know what to do,” he added.
