ST JAMES, Jamaica — The newly rebuilt Accident and Emergency (A&E) Department at the Cornwall Regional Hospital (CRH) is set to be opened on Friday, nine years after the department along with the rest of the hospital was shuttered after noxious fumes made the condition untenable for staff and patients.
The project faced notable delays over the period, but the A&E department, which is currently housed at the Mount Salem Health Centre, will finally return to the main building.
It has been described as at least twice the size of the previous area and will include operating theatres to make it one of the most modern A&Es in Jamaica.
