Prime Minister, Dr. the Hon. Hubert Minnis, toured the Samaritan’s Purse field hospital at the Princess Margaret Hospital (PMH) this morning.

The public is advised that the Princess Margaret Hospital (PMH) is in urgent need of all types of blood. Blood donations can be made at the PMH Blood Bank, Monday to Saturday from 9 am until 5 pm. The final donation will be taken at 4:30pm daily. Persons are reminded that official identification is required in order to donate blood. The public is also advised that if you are ill or experiencing respiratory symptoms you should not donate blood. In keeping with social distancing protocols, the Blood Bank is discouraging group donations. No more than three individuals will be facilitated at a time.

In an effort to ease overcrowding at the Princess Margaret Hospital, the old Operating Theater is being renovated to create a comfortable 22-bed unit. It is expected that this newly re-purposed space will ease the overcrowding at the nation's primary healthcare facility.
