THE QUEEN ELIZABETH HOSPITAL (QEH) this weekend could be faced with an “emergencies only” situation due to a shortage of interns.

In a release to its membership, the Barbados Association of Medical Practitioners (BAMP) deemed the development an untenable situation and said those responsible should be held accountable.
“We believe that all persons responsible for this situation should be held accountable, including those in the Ministry of Health, for placing the public of this nation in a situation of completely avoidable adverse risk,” BAMP said. (TS)
