Dear Editor,
Today, Thursday, November 23, 2017, I witnessed a very troubling situation which resulted by the inability of the current government to manage the people’s health insurance. This way of working by incompetent and negligent people produced this situation.
There was a gentleman distraught by his desperation after years of chasing SZV to find a solution for his son’s problem who today was mistreated and humiliated physically and verbally, which resulted in his son falling from his hands and attaining unknown injuries at the time of this writing.
This is one of the hundreds of cases of abuse and incompetence by our health insurance which is caused by a lack of personnel capable of handling sensitive cases.
Minister of Health, I urge you to take pertinent actions to solve the problems that plague St. Maarten’s health care system.
