Gov’t to seek new name for national hospital

Sign for the present Princess Margaret Hospital
Sign for the present Princess Margaret Hospital

The government will be engaging the public for suggestions to name the much talked about China-funded new national hospital, Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit has said.

The present hospital is called Princess Margaret Hospital and the new one is to be built on the same site and the government will be seeking the name of a distinguished Dominicans or international figure for it.

“We will be engaging the public on suggestions which distinguished Dominican or international figure we should rename this hospital because I’m sure many of us have never met or may not have known Princess Margaret,” Skerrit said earlier this week at a ceremony for the signing of Letters of Exchange between the Government of the People’s Republic of China and the Government of the Commonwealth of Dominica for the West Coast Road Post Erika Rehabilitation Project.

He said there are no problems with Princess Margaret “but I think that we have distinguished Dominicans who have assisted us in the area of health…I do not know yet, so we will hear from the public on that.”

He did not say what mechanisms will be put in place to receive suggestions from the public.

Speaking on a radio show on Kairi FM on Wednesday July, 13 the Prime Minister finally gave a definite date for the groundbreaking of the new national hospital, which is August 8, 2016.

He believes that the new hospital will allow the government to be in a better position to improve on the delivery of healthcare services to the public.

    Greetings. Be Thankful for what the Lord has Provided.
    Better a Renovated, Expanded and Upgraded Hospital than a Deteriorating Structure with No Modern Equipment and Efficient Staff.
    This is for the PEOPLE IN General and a symbolic Development for the Country.
    Well done.

    Having read all the comments not one suggested naming it after the Kalinago or finding the Kalinago name for hospital yet we say they are our first native hero’s but not one mention of them. That’s how serious we are as a, people realising that I have deliberately joined the fun. We had a big sewo i for the construction of a 18 million dollar bridge in Roseau no replacement name suggested that will come after so for me what I looking forwArd to is the sewo for the New hospital. The name will come after boy. Bring on Kassav. Waiting for big sewo!!

    Pardon me if I sound “off’, but is Princess Margaret still alive? Okay, okay, someone just inform me [while penning this post] that the Princess passed away in 2002. I am sure many of us Dominicans did not know that. Matter of fact, most of us don’t care whether still is alive, sick or dead. That’s just the kind of people we are. My point is that the late Princess left behind a charity foundation to continue her legacy. Is there any chance we can get this foundation to fund the new hospital and keep the name?

    Whose fault is it that some of us may have never known or heard of Princess Margaret? This should be part of national history. Every day on DBS there should be at least 5-10 minutes dedicated to our history. Dedicate this time to educating our people of our history: why certain buildings or streets are named after certain historical figures. Long before television we learned a lot from the radio; remember the Dominica Story by Lennox H. was on Radio Dominica?

    Now, why name the hospital after a notable Dominican? Name it after all of us, after our country: The Greater Dominica General Hospital. This name speaks to our greatness as a people; it elevates our spirits, and clearly indicates that it is a hospital for all ailments; no one will need to be flown to another country for medical treatment; our hospital will be equipped to keep us strong and healthy and to help us continue to build this great nation.

    Let us make Dominica GREAT again!!!

    My advice is that. We keep the name Princess Margaret Hospital and when we have the new wing we will call it ,
    The new wing of the PMH , or we name it The Patrick John Wing of The Princess Margaret Hospital ; in Honor of
    the First Prime Minister of Our beloved Dominica.
    Mandella left jail and became the leader of South Africa. What is wrong naming a wing of the Hospital after the First
    Prime Minister of our Country.
    They wanted to have a refer random to stop him from taking the country to independence in 1978, and 6months after
    we got the country to independence the CIVIL SERVANTS JOINED THE FREEDOM PARTY IN STAGING A COUPE and over threw his party. So I see nothing wrong naming the new part of the hospital after The Honorable Patrick Roland John.

  39. Sylvester Cadette

    I agree wholeheartedly with the Intention to have the hospital named after a prominent Dominican who have labored tirelessly, selflessly and successfully in the field of health.

    I remember a song in the 1980’s called “JUDGE ME RIGHT” by, I think it was former Dominican calypso king, De Rabbit (Bernard Alexander) in which he sang “why not name Princess Margaret Hospital, Bernard Sorhaindo Hospital”.

    I am sure their are so many prominent persons who rode on “horse back” to provide medical care, or pioneered health care in the districts. Maybe this renaming will get us more acquainted with many of our Dominican heroes. Sadly we seem not to honor many of our heroes. This is a fine opportunity.
    It’s not just about renaming. It’s about honoring our people. And please, let’s just agree TOGETHER.

    The chorus of the Calypso “JUDGE ME RIGHT” ended with the lines: “… if this song I sing offend anyone let him come to me and prove me wrong, Judge me right, my people…

    Oh ! because she was not a communist-labor one ?
    Then why not E.Leblanc ? after all, he was the 1st PM of our country.
    If all names referring to the colonialist period have to be changed, then look work for Roseau steets !!

    Isn’t the Prime Minister fed up of hiding behind the radio microphones of DBS and Kairi in order to make statements or to throw information at Dominicans. On Thursday night, the man spent approximately four hours behind the microphone of DBS, yet he cannot spend an hour in front of the news media of Dominica. During his travels, the foreign press are given an opportunity to question him, but in Dominica, he is covered by the skirts of DBS and Kairi. There have been instances, when Dominicans have to rely on the foreign press in order to get information as regards his where about or news pertaining to Dominica. Why is he afraid to face the Dominican print media and radio, in particular Q95. The print media and radio should seriously consider putting a black out on all news coming from the Prime Minister’s office, maybe he might change his attitude towards them.

    I do think it is insulting to the name of Princess Margaret. She must have financially helped this hospital since it was named after her. It does not matter who knew her or not. May her soul rest in peace.
    So what if they are considered distinguished. How many of those distinguished people financially assisted the hospital? If they did not, they are not worthy of this new hospital being named in their honor.
    When this PMH was going through a financial crisis (no doubt still is) and in need of hospital equipment, how many assisted it? If they have done nothing for the upkeep of the hospital why give it their name?
    My suggestion is, it could be named, “The New Princess Margaret Hospital” or “The Dominica General Hospital.” These make much sense.
    Therefore, PM, please take note of these two names and give them due consideration. Based under the circumstances, the new name should represent D/ca in general.

      Then the name should be Arawakan, not English.

      Jonathan, You have a big problem or you are a stupid fool, Each year the UK government gives Dominica thousands in some cases millions of pounds why dont you say send the money back we do not need it ??

        Do not forget Queen Elizabeth established an eye program in Dominica. She also has the program for youths. The Queen would be elated that Dominica keeps her sister’s name.
        A few years ago Britain sent a woman as “Ambassador to Dominica” who is stationed in Barbados. She visited D/ca and met with the PM.
        As you stated, if the UK government continues to give Dominica millions of pounds, the government should be grateful and leave the name.
        As previously stated, it could be called The New Princess Margaret Hospital in memory of the late Princess – RIP.
        I noted the Convent High School is called the New Convent High School. Therefore, why not, “The New Princess Margaret Hospital?”. When I was younger, I saw her when she visited D/ca. She was a nice lady.
        Britain still has ties to D/ca. I consider it was a mistake to secede from G.B.
        I do not want to be prejudice but if D/ca was dependent on GB, China would not be helping it. I hope this will not be regretted.

    “We will be engaging the public on suggestions which distinguished Dominican or international figure we should rename this hospital because I’m sure many of us have never met or may not have known Princess Margaret,

    distasteful remark and very undiplomatic. While i agree with the fact that many people have never met or may not know Princess Margaret – she was a representative of the Head of the Commonwealth nations – the Queen. The same commonwealth skerrit campaigned for Scotland to head. I find it distasteful and disrespectful to turn around now, and use that type of excuse to justify a name change. tactless man!
