Minister of Health and Wellness Dr Christopher Tufton says the Government is moving to ensure that all future public health facilities are engineered to withstand natural disasters.
Speaking to the staff, management and other stakeholders at the Southern Regional Health Authority (SRHA) Grand Awards Gala at Lover’s Leap in St Elizabeth last week, Tufton said that public health infrastructure must serve as “unyielding sanctuaries” during national crises.
“Hospitals are supposed to withstand disasters,” he said.
