Episode Details

Princess Margaret Hospital’s A&E department was flooded by a sudden downpour that forced water in through ambulance bay doors—no roof leak involved. Nurses confirmed services resumed quickly after cleanup crews arrived, with no major disruptions reported despite concerns over electrical equipment. The Bahamas Nurses Union president praised the swift response. But opposition leader Dr. Duane Sands seized on the incident to slam the government, accusing it of systemic neglect and undermining claims of healthcare progress. The hospital blamed the flooding on an “extraordinary volume” of rain during severe thunderstorms and says it’s reviewing ways to prevent future incidents. This follows just weeks after the Health Minister declared the A&E redevelopment complete—Sands sees it as part of a troubling pattern of infrastructure failures, including power outages and medication shortages.
