NASSAU, The Bahamas — Minister of Health, the Hon. Renward Wells toured Samaritan’s Purse field hospital, adjacent to Princess Margaret Hospital, on Tuesday, October 20, 2020 to be familiarized and briefed on what is happening on the ground since the field facility was set-up this past weekend. The field hospital will improve the Hospital’s capacity to provide care for COVID-19 patients requiring hospitalization. Upon completion of their time in country, Samaritan’s Purse will conduct a handover process transferring patients to the care of the PMH clinical team and allocating remaining medical supplies and the entire field hospital to PMH. PMH will operate the facility until it is no longer required on-campus, and then it will be transferred to the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) as a resource for future crisis response.
