The President of the Medical Association of Jamaica, Dr. Shane Alexis, says concerns persist in the medical fraternity abut the role of health workers in the National Ebola Response Plan.
His comment follows an incident at the weekend in which a Nigerian national who visited the Mandeville Regional Hospital, was denied care for several hours.
The man, Dr. Bob Banjo, says Jamaica’s health care system is not prepared for Ebola.
Dr. Alexis says the incident highlights some of the challenges in the medical sector.
Dr. Alexis says from those workshops, there’s been a slight improvement in how members of the medical fraternity would deal with an Ebola case.
