Waterford Health Centre On the Brink Of Collapse

The Waterford Health Centre, Portmore St. Catherine is being criticized as being under-resourced and under-staffed. The facility which was built in the 1970s to service Waterford and Independence City residents is now catering to those from Westchester, Edgewater, and Portsmouth in addition to the two communities which is seemingly putting a strain on the health centre and its two doctors there.

Opposition Peoples National Party Councilor for the Waterford Division, Fenly Douglas describes the facility as sub-standard. Member of Parliament Robert Miller agrees. He says a master plan has been created and the health centre should be relocated.

CVM Live visited the facility recently.
