Congratulations Princess Marina

Last Friday we were all pleasantly surprised to hear that our very own Princess Marina Hospital has for the first time conducted heart surgeries and to top it all these surgeries were successful. This is indeed a huge step and we can only celebrate.

Government has over the past few years been spending a lot of public money on building state of the art hospitals and clinics. While there is evidence of infrastructural development across the country, this has not been matched with the provision of quality health service and corresponding development in health research. To torture the cliche it has always been the same old practice.
