New Hospital?

It only makes sense if we can maintain the new one an upgrade the medical services given to our citizens. When the people with money get sick in DR and Colombia they go to the states for treatment, on the other hand we send our patients to them, most of them to die.

You can’ t pretend to be a “country” if your hospital is still one of a third world country….

So many millions being spent per year to fly patients to Colombia so yes we NEED a new hospital FAST!

Crazy talk. First we hear a new hospital is ready to be built. Then we hear the current one is losing monies every month. What d he’ll goin on?

Definitely need a new hospital! We a country since 2010 but have such a bad hospital.

Fix it!!

I do think we need a new hospital in the long run, once we clear up all the deficits and can run the current one without a loss. If properly executed, a new hospital will increase the level of care for SXM population and sister islands Saba & Statia. Also, medical tourism can be looked at but only when executed by a specialized unit within the SMMC organisational structure which has a sole purpose to add USD to the bottom line of the hospital. Not a foreign entity that funnels all profits to offshore accounts. Just my 2 cents.
