When I stepped into the A&E Department at the Cornwall Regional Hospital, I was impressed by the level of technology and the investment that has gone into equipping this facility. It is encouraging to see our doctors and healthcare professionals provided with the tools and equipment they need to care for patients. We made a significant investment in this facility because the health and well-being of Jamaicans matter. The benefits of that investment are right here, in the equipment, the technology and the improved services that will support our healthcare system. My hope is that Jamaicans will enjoy good health and never have to use this facility. But we know that illness and emergencies are a part of life, and when the need arises, our people must be able to access the care they need. To everyone who has waited patiently through the process, I say thank you for your understanding. Pardon our progress. We are working to improve healthcare for all Jamaicans.

Take a look inside the improved Accident and Emergency Department at Cornwall Regional Hospital! Departmental Nurse Manager Henry takes us on a tour of the upgraded facility, which features a new registration and waiting area, treatment rooms, two operating theatres, a trauma bay, isolation rooms, a CT scan and X-ray unit, and spaces to support patients and their families. The improved facility is designed to provide a more comfortable environment, better patient care and improved services for the people of western Jamaica. Watch as Nurse Henry takes us through the new and improved A&E Department!
