It er expansion to visitation. So, we now have expanded visitation hours that run from 12 Noon to 1PM and from 4PM to 8PM. This allows more access to patients by the public at times convenient to them. So, there is no longer a rush to see patients within the one-hour period of time that we had established; there are now two visitation hours, daily. Of course, the wards that tend to have patients who are in a fairly compromised state - particularly patients with various forms of cancers–those patients can be seen anytime during the daytime subject to con- sideration by the patient; there are no restrictive visitation hours on those particular wards. “The Queen Elizabeth Hospital provides the widest range of public health services that you can find in any country,” Dr. James states in conclusion. “Citizens can access care without having to worry about the costs. And the fees that we charge to non-nationals who live and reside and those who come from overseas are exceedingly low, but the quality is exceedingly high. The breadth and depth of services that we offer is unsurpassed.” THE QUEEN ELIZABETH HOSPITAL is also a supplier of oils, industrial lubricants, welding sup- ples and associated products as well as lead acid batteries for motor vehicles under the TRACK brand. The company since 2006 has been a supplier of a range of gases to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital with the emphasis being on the supply of oxygen. As the need arises we also supply them with medical equipment used in the transfer of oxygen to their oxygen bank. Over the period in question, we have developed a very good working relationshop with the management of the hispital and we will continue to support them in their efforts to achieve their goals. We wish them every success in their future endeavors to rpovide the highest quality of medical services on the island. n A.A. Laquis Barbados Ltd. www.aalaquis.com A.A.
