The Jamaica Gleaner MANY OF the mostly poor women who have their babies delivered at public hospitals are forced to share a bed designed to accommodate one patient, with one, or sometimes two, other expectant mothers.
This violates the Ministry of Health's ideal patient policy of having one person per bed. Sunday Gleaner investigations have revealed that expectant mothers are sharing a single bed at both the Victoria Jubilee Hospital (VJH) in Kingston and the Spanish Town Hospital in St Catherine.
