The image of the public healthcare system has taken a battering in the past six months with infant mortality and charges of fleecing of public funds at the national hospital. Tonight though the news is good as the Ministry of Health has purchased $1.6 million worth of new equipment to be dispatched across the country.

The equipment includes hospital beds, bassinets, paediatric cribs, delivery tables, dental equipment, fetal monitors, examination tables, incubators, nebulizers and wheelchairs.
 
The supplier of the equipment is Development and Relief Corporation, a company from the Netherlands which will train Ministry of Health personnel in equipment maintenance.
