Open burning of medical waste at J. N. France General Hospital continues despite complaints
Basseterre, St. Kitts, November 7, 2017 – Seven months after a public plea to the authorities to deal with the thick black smoke coming from the incinerator at the J. N. France General Hospital, the situation has remained the same.
It was in May 2017, the Buckley’s community activist, Livingston Huggins wrote on his FaceBook page:
“Minister of Health (Eugene Hamilton), Senator of Health (Wendy Phipps), Ministry of Health (P.S ?) and J.N. France Hospital Authority (CMO; etc), when will the people of Buckley’s Estate get some relief?
On November 7, 2017, an irritated Huggins posted: No one really care a SHIT about the residents of Buckley’s Estate with the smoke from the Incinerator ”
On October 20th 2017, the top photo was taken of medical waste being burnt openly.
