Stakeholders are calling on THA Secretary of Health, Wellness and Social Protection Dr Faith Brebnor to clear the air about the recent influx of patients at the Scarborough General Hospital, which resulted in the facility having to be placed in emergency mode on July 8.

In a release, the Tobago Regional Health Authority (TRHA) said the hospital had activated emergency mode owing to what it called a “surge in patient admissions and capacity constraints across medical and surgical wards.”

However, it did not explain what caused the increase in admissions.
