Following allegations of a shortage of hospital beds and chairs at the Rand Memorial Hospital in Grand Bahama, the Public Hospital Authority (PHA) said yesterday challenges are being addressed.
In addition to concerns raised over bed and chair shortages, PHA said there were also questions concerning the facility’s preparedness to handle patient care during emergencies or overflow situations.
“PHA assures the public that Rand Memorial Hospital continues to deliver uninterrupted, high-quality care to all patients,” the statement read.
The PHA said the Rand has robust response plans in place to manage periods of high patient volume, natural disasters, or mass casualty events.
The PHA asked the public to use community clinics for non-urgent medical cases.
The Freeport Community Clinic (FCC) operates Monday to Friday from 8am to 8pm, and on Saturdays from 8am to 4pm.
