Minister of Health, Hon. Rudyard Spencer has appealed for the support of healthcare professionals to successfully undertake transformative work in the health sector. “The Government alone cannot accomplish the goals of broadening access to health care in a sustainable way. Our health care professionals must understand that there is more at stake than preserving status quo. No nation can grow and develop if its citizens do not have access to quality health care. A sick nation is a poor nation. There is a lot to be done to move the country forward. We rely on our staff on the frontline to give of their best,” he said.
