After being transferred from the Emergency Room at Doctors Hospital, the emergency surgery was performed at the state-of-the-art specialist centre at the Bahamas Medical Pavilion. The medical team, including Dr. Zulina Salas and Dr. Henry Coleman, provided expert care to ensure Prime Minister Christie’s surgery went smoothly.
Dr. Brown expressed pride in the team’s outstanding performance in the emergency room and the advanced care provided by the specialist center, and said this first surgery was also a significant moment in the partnership between the Bahamas Heart Center and Doctors Hospital. Dr. Brown stressed the importance of this advanced cardiac care to the entire country and looked forward to the future implementation of the National Health Insurance Catastrophic Illness Program to make this life-saving service more accessible to the entire Bahamian public.
In his message to the Governor, Dr. Brown stressed the importance of collaboration and teamwork and thanked the medical team for their invaluable support throughout his career. He noted that their shared vision and collective efforts have been key to the success and growth of his efforts, achievements and contributions.
