With plans to introduce invasive cardiac and neurological services in the future, the hospital is also working to become an internationally accredited health facility. This accreditation will allow St. Augustine Private Hospital to broaden their reach into the Caribbean and further, appealing to the health tourism industry. As they work towards this goal, St. Augustine Private Hospital also continues to plan their next steps as they move out of the pandemic and into the future. Dr. Ali shares the vision for the hospital going forward, noting, “We will continue to provide efficient and cost-effective services to our clients. We also want to see that there are some better controls on the health services of the country and a greater public-private sector partnership. We understand that health care is extremely costly, and we understand that for a small island like ours, twin islands, to efficiently use the resources available, a public-private partnership, properly structured, will redound to the benefit of all the citizens of our country.” As they continue their efforts to offer highly trained staff, up-to-date technology, and affordable services, St. Augustine Private Hospital is strongly living up to their tagline, ‘Where Patients Come First’.
