Stress on QEH

The uptick in shootings is taking a toll on this country’s premier health care facility.

The Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH) is reporting that the latest incident – Tuesday night’s shooting which left five men nursing gunshot wounds – placed “some pressure” on its emergency resources.

Communications specialist for the QEH Shane Sealy also told the DAILY NATION that the upsurge in shootings over the last three weeks has placed greater burden on and already stretched Accident & Emergency Department (A& E).
