BVI hospital gets praises from St Lucia’s Health Minister

The Dr D Orlando Smith Hospital in Road Town

The Dr. D. Orlando Smith Hospital (DOSH) has received high praises for its processes and level of care from the St Lucian Minister for Health, Wellness & Elderly Affairs, Moses Jn. Baptiste.

Minister Baptiste recently visited the hospital during an official visit to the Virgin Islands where he attended the OECS Council of Health Ministers meeting.

The Minister said he was very pleased with the processes and level of care at the hospital.

In relation to the best-practices and processes, the St Lucian Health Minister said he was very impressed by the focus on mental health and physiotherapy.

“I like the isolation of the rooms and the equipment which clearly indicate a focus on ensuring that you have quality care when it comes to physiotherapy,” Minister Baptiste said.

He added: “I also believe that based on what I saw and in the discussions held, that there is a focus on mental wellness, and it is very clear that you have a programme here in the hospital settings that deals with that.”

The DOSH has been developing a reputation as a premier health facility in the Caribbean.

The institution was recently granted full accreditation from the esteemed accrediting body DNV-GL (Det Norske Veritas and Germanischer Lloyd).

The hospital now stands as the first Caribbean institution to be recognized by DNV-GL, which boasts an accreditation list that includes over 635 US hospitals and 15 others spanning Brazil, China, Iceland, Slovenia, Czech Republic, and Thailand.

    People who travel for health care would realized we are not the worse. We have some improvements to make. The Cubans, Filipinos make a big difference they approach their work like professionals,always early hardly sick. our issues are the locals who continue to act like they don’t care, unprofessionals talk to you any how. Good thing they are more good outsiders than the many bad locals.

    but will off island medical insurers pay for the medical procedures, care and expenses for visitors specifically seeking medical cures and recovery in Peebles Hospital?

    This don’t make no sense, is it to show personal friendship to the minister ? a man from st lucia or any place else who don’t have a medical or scientific degree can rate hospital.

  5. Please Help Us. says:

    Is there, any entity, institution or other than one can contact, or is set up to intake complaints from patients who, while in hospital, were injected with a covid vaccine, who then subsequently sustained neurological damage and became partially immobile?

    Should those who have sustained this sort of damage, especially those who were patients in the hospital at the time of being injected and acquiring the damage not be taken care of?

    If any or any medical professional know who to contact on how patients can seek and receive medical intervention and a reprieve from the suffering being experienced, please post such information here for us. Thank you kindly.

    Those covid vaccines have done much damage throughout the territory and the world.

    Almost every single person on earth has an awful experience and tale to tell about the “jab,” from severe illnesses to neuropathy, to inability to walk normally to paralysis.

    Hence, the pharmaceutical and medical industry ad hospital industry should step in and assist those affected, because they know of the damage and suffering tthat have occurred and are in existence.
