Residents of Point Fortin will soon have an Accident and Emergency Department which is expected within the next ninety six-hour. Southsidenewstt understands that the South West Regional Health Authority and Heritage Petroleum have reached an agreement for the use of the former Petrotrin Medical Facility in Point Fortin.
it was early last month that the new Point Fortin Hospital was turned into a Covid-19 Facility, due to rise in cases in Trinidad. That decision caused some anxiety to mount with the residents of the southwestern community. When southsidenewstt visited the proposed new Accident and Emergency site, workmen were seen working to have the facility ready.
Over the past week the residents of Point Fortin and Environs had to travel to San Fernando for all emergency and auxiliary services. Southsidenewstt reached out to the Member of Parliament for the area who said he was very elated of this new development as this new Accident and Emergency Department comes on stream.
