Antigua and Barbuda has welcomed the arrival of a group of nurses from Ghana, marking a significant development in the country’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its public healthcare system.
These nurses are replacing those who were recently sent back to Cuba after the government ended its arrangement with Havana.
We asked residents how they felt about the arrival of this new medical team.
Health Officials welcome Ghanaian medical professionals
These people already feel at home
We welcome our brothers and sisters from Ghana. Welcome Welcome Welcome
Let’s treat them with respect and kindness.
We welcome them with open arms. Nurses are nurses once you come to help people, you’re good in my book. The hospital need all the help it can get
Ghana and Antigua have a shared history. I feel proud that Black professionals from Africa coming to help us in the Caribbean
Change always come with questions. I just hope patients don’t suffer while everybody adjusting
