    BRADES, Montserrat (November 6, 2013) – Medical practitioners at the Glendon Hospital on Wednesday, November 06, 2013 expressed their gratitude for several new gifts which will make their jobs a little easier.

     

    A cardiac monitor defibrillator, a fetal doppler, and an automatic blood pressure machine were presented to the Casualty Department by local entrepreneur Lorraine Lewis on behalf of a group called Stratians for Strat.

    In September, the group launched an online crowdfunding campaign which raised US$6,893.06 after fees to purchase the equipment. To date, US$3,112.95 remain, which Lewis said will go to acquiring additional machines and materials that hospital officials have said they need.

    Lewis said in addition to the Stratians for Strat groups other Montserrat associations in the UK, US and Canada have pledged their support to assist in purchasing what the hospital has indicated it requires to offer quality care to patients.

    Chief Surgeon Doctor Braimah Kassim and Nurse Anaesthetist Brenda Daley expressed their gratitude for the equipment. Daley said the fetal doppler was of importance to the Obstetrics department.
     
    Lewis added that the next delivery of equipment will be for the Pediatric/Obstetrics Department. Future funds raised will also be invested in training for the doctors and nurses of the hospital,” she noted.
