Salute to Marina staff! But let's fix healthcare system

The recent incident at Princess Marina Hospital has once again highlighted the nation's healthcare professionals' tireless dedication and unwavering commitment.

Under extremely challenging circumstances and with dilapidated equipment, the team at the referral hospital, consisting of doctors, nurses, engineers, and healthcare assistants, managed to save a patient's life during an emergency operation despite a sudden power failure caused by a faulty generator.

Moments like these remind us of the true heroes within our healthcare system. The Marina team and countless other healthcare workers across the country continue to perform miracles every day, often with limited resources and in less-than-ideal conditions. Their dedication to duty is commendable, and they deserve our heartfelt gratitude and recognition.
