Well am really happy to hear that they do not need to perform any major surgery and the recovery time is very short. We should celebrate 🥳 this wonderful achievement 👏 in Healthcare Industry. When I did my surgery over their at the Savanna-La-Mar Hospital. My recovery was long. However; the treatment was very effective. Fast forward to now. That is more than a blessing in disguise 🥸. Well done 👏 to the Minister of Health and the entire team at the Hospital. As they continue to work together in unity to give our Jamaicans the best they deserve. The only problem is that they need more Bed 🛌 Space, so we can have less of citizens sitting on chairs💺 for days. We need to really fix this ASAP. Our hard working people's deserve a whole lot better than what they are receiving now.
