So if you've listened to the response from KHMH to this PAHO report, and you still have questions, we did too.
So we asked the chairlady of the Board to comment on her impression as one of the bosses of the hospital who is now forced to answer to an upset public who believes that this is a major failure.
Here's what she told us after seeing the report, and hearing the explanation from the CEO:
Daniel Ortiz
"Ms. Cansino as the chairlady of the board, after seeing the report and hearing the responses from the authority, the CEO of KHMH - are you pleased or satisfied with the responses they have given. In my opinion, the public deserves a little bit more of explanation, something else to encourage them that the KHMH is taking this matter seriously."
Chandra Nisbet Cansino - Chairlady, KHMH Board
"When I speak, I speak on behalf of a board - I don't act alone. We just received the report on Monday and we've had one meeting since then and of course the reports/findings are not the best findings that you would want from a report which is the one that PAHO did. The board is looking very seriously in the timeline of the recommendations and we will be looking to see that the recommendations are followed based on the timeline from PAHO because I think they categorized it as a one month then a three month deadline and we will be ensuring that those are adhered to. There's a lot of information that the board needs to process Daniel that we have not had time to process as a board. So probably over the next couple weeks we will be meeting again and we will be reviewing in further detail the recommendations from PAHO and the recommendations from persons on a whole because a lot of people have been giving us input and advice and we've been listening to everybody."
There are aspects of the very technical explanation today, which we feel that the public must hear, but due to the late hour of the press conference, we weren't able to get to. We hope to do so tomorrow.
