Citizens urged to ‘own’ hospital in message against future neglect

ST JAMES, Jamaica — Individuals seeking services at the new Accident and Emergency (A&E) building at Cornwall Regional Hospital (CRH) have been urged to play a role in its upkeep by Member of Parliament for St James Central, Heroy Clarke.

Speaking at the facility’s official opening, Clarke said the building had cost a significant amount of taxpayers’ money and that citizens therefore had a responsibility to ensure it remained in good condition for years to come.

“This means no vandalism, no theft of fixtures, linen or equipment, no graffiti on these walls, no abuses of our nurses and doctors, no littering and no defacing of this beautiful new building,” he appealed.
