Tufton making Cornwall Regional Hospital great again

THE EDITOR, Madam:

Let us be fair, Cornwall Regional Hospital has been in existence since 1974. It has run its course of 45 years and would have been in dire need of some welcome renovation, repairs, and some modern fixtures and facilities.

The medical groups, in 2017, lobbied for the hospital to be closed down due to poor air quality, which, without a doubt, would significantly affect workers’ health and could even cause death.

I am sure Cornwall Regional Hospital did not deteriorate overnight. Its dismal state was years in the making.

During the 18 and a half consecutive years that the People’s National Party (PNP) government was in power, they turned a blind eye to the deteriorating conditions of this hospital and allowed for the manifestation of multiple breakdowns within this multi-faceted medical facility.

Now, Dr Christopher Tufton has taken on the task of upgrading and renovating this hospital, while the PNP’s Dr Morais Guy can find nothing else to do but be highly critical, with no healthy proposal.

When all is said and done, this hospital will be among the best in the world.
