Poor jab, Henry. He doesn't know when to move on.
When the choice comes between giving our sick and infirm sufficient healthcare or giving a few "elite athletes" a synthetic track to run on, our choice reflects who we are.
Mr Mangal please assert your efforts elsewhere because in this arena it bleeds incompetence.
With regard to your analogy, if it were you or your family who needed medical care, would your views differ???
Nothing done is worthy of gratitude by folks like you; indeed shameful...
Is that not the very same stadium that the former opposition,now government,find to be a waste of money? You people are the ones who ought to be ashamed of yourselves. Dont forget that it came from the Chinese, people. Yeah, the people that the UWP saw no need for. If I was in the government's place, I would have nothing at all to do with that stadium. After all, we never needed it, right???????? Come to think of it, instead of teaching us to fish, plant flowers and all that irrelevant crap, why dont the "Almighty Taiwanese" just build a hospital, beginning immediately. Oh! I know, their projects arent as large scale, right?????????????
Ya, instead of fishing and planting, we should be running around a circle and expect others to send us abroad to compete and makes us feel important.
I agree, if we run in circles long enough we'll finally catch our tails.
When will you knuckle-heads understand that we are no longer in the Compton era? U are merely underscoring my point. St Lucians are not worthy of stadiums or any sort of infrastructure. What is more rewarding than learning basic farming skills we never knew how to do in the first place? Pray tell, do we even know how bananas are planted? The Taiwanese will surely have to teach us that too. Pretty soon our house rooftops will resemble those of the Asian kind. Idiots!!!!!!!!!
What is Mangal on? Sometimes Politicians just make you sick with their heartless,selfish verbal faeces.
Mangal needs to shut it cos people are no longer buying into the foolishness. I can understand this argument coming out sometime next year but it is now just too soon. If he wants to make a difference he should give a nice big donation to the recovery effort to ensure the new hospital is built up even faster.
Jane and the idiot below you, u are nothing more than uwp hacks and absolute morons.
Yes now the discussion is about Mangal and not about what is happening in St Lucia. Typical of my people, that is why we St Lucians cannot unit where ever we go. We like to fight each other to much.
well written article. I was away when the fire occurred and finally ahd the opportunity to visit St. Jude's this week. I thought the damage was much more extensive, but appears to be limited to the middle/surgical block. St. Jude's Hospital is on a fairly large site and can be expanded in phases. The priority is clearly a thorough clean up and the reconstruction of the middle block, perhaps a three level structure instead of the original two. A field hospital, as mentioned by mangal, is definitely something that might be useful especially in the event of a large disaster like a plane crash or hurricane. It would not be a lost investment. It could even be setup at the extensive front grounds of St. Jude's if needs be. What exactly are government's plans for St. Jude's? Do they intend to demolish the whole thing? With a state-of-the-art national hospital under construction that might be health capital overkill for a country of our limited size and population. Barbados with a population of 270,000 people has one main hospital (QEH). Albeit we have differing geopgraphies and demographic spread, perhaps moneys are better spent in improving connections between north and south than duplicating expensive types of infrastructure. The same can be said of our two airport situation. Don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating the closure of St. Jude's but I am suggesting that we need to rethink the scale to which we want to invest in health. Smart investments means more money to go around for other initiatives (e.g. polyclinics; aged care; specialised national programmes in diabetes, hypertension, cancer, asthma, etc).
You have to have a hospital close to any airport especially an international one, it's the law.
Also, the population will grow rapidly as we develop, from immigration to births to the diaspora retiring and returning home so we do need St.Judes. Finally, I was born there so it's also immpersonal.
