EDITOR, The Tribune.

IF all the advertising and promotion is accurate we are supposed to be in the midst of the launching of the much heralded NHI but…

The promotion for NHI at the initial stage register for the smart card has to be questioned.

One of these advertisements you see a lady who is a senior member of the NHI Secretariat says that her mother on Inagua will be able to receive the same medical care and services as if in Nassau.

Unless Ministry of Health has improved the island clinic I suggest this is inaccurate information spreading false facts, news and should be discontinued.

Sort of funny when the chief spokesperson who we must acknowledge cleared up all the mess when NHI was first talked about is also a spokesperson - well if he doesn’t support NHI why should we?

I am very worried that my mother and her sister, all pensioners, will have their current concessions reduced if not taken from them - it would be reassuring if the Minister of Health could confirm nothing changes for pensioners? Free care, free services, including surgeries and free meds.

I am sorry for the employees working for the Government bush crack their global health policy is gone.
