Overworked staff at Crown Gardens Clinic

I was at the Crown Gardens Clinic on Tuesday September 9 and to my surprise I found the clinic so full and only one sister to help the patients.

Crowns Gardens Clinic with one sister, I am a patient of this clinic for year and I have never seen the clinic so full, we are always in and out, never wait more the an hour there, but on that day, I waited like four hours .

I don’t blame the sister for waiting as she was alone to take care of all of us, and the clinic has grown. We actually need three sisters there now and we need the clinic bigger.

All I am asking is please don’t abuse that one sister, and for all the other patients to be patient with her when going to the clinic, but as a patient we also have rights, and one of them is to complain if we not happy and I was not happy at all waiting for four hours.

Maybe we need the Minister of Health to go there and see what is happening, because on that day she had two emergencies; she had to call the ambulance and she said before you go to the hospital you need a referral from your clinic. On that day if that patient had to go straight to hospital I don’t think we would have had to wait four hours.
