[@diannetgoldingfrankson2105]

Thank you about it's about time someone featured that development

[@donovanhendricks6815]

A step in the right direction, however, every Parish needs to be developed like this, with each local government implementing plans to deal with the various infrastructure deficits that exists.

[@DronesEyeView]

Most certainly! We appreciate developments like these and we agree that all parishes should have something significant to stand out. We are a growing nation and better things will come. Thanks for watching and for your feedback!

Montego Bay is the de facto capital city of Western Jamaica/the county of Cornwall (which includes St. Elizabeth which is wrongly placed with Mandeville in the smaller Central Health Authority). This may change when Highway 2000 is built out to directly link St. Bess with Montego Bay.

[@garfieldwhittaker944]

​​​@@DronesEyeViewJamaica is a relatively poor third world economy, thus there needs to be a COST-EFFECTIVE REGIONAL approach to such mega projects as the Cornwall Regional Hospital/Western Jamaica Children Hospital. The videographer needs to correct his error in stating that the Western Jamaica Children Hospital is seven floors when it's an eight storey structure. .. jis.gov.jm/construction-of-western-children-and-adolescent-hospital-on-schedule/

[@Ann-hm7gj]

Please implement a foster ward in that facility so children can return home from living abroad.

[@nadinebeckford3340]

A foster ward. What is that ?

[@nardoranks5420]

Can they build a brand new 15 story hospital in kingston, the KPH is a disgrace.

[@Legend-lc9bv]

No people die more in mobay

[@Cooyah888]

It's in the making.

Kingston is not Jamaica....we need to decentralize many of Kingston's colonial era designed governmental functions...

5:33 Do you know why they are clearing this land of to the side of the hospital?

[@DronesEyeView]

Possibly the parking area. If you notice there is an excavator clearing a pathway near the entrance to said cleared area.

Some of you people cannot be please !

You know bad minded people always behave with jealousy.

[@Ann-hm7gj]

There's too many Jamaican kids living in foster care in Canada the u.s and the u.k. They want to return to Jamaica Can you implement a large facility for the kids in Jamaica??

[@phillipbeckford7814]

so has this contruction reduces the amount of patience that can get medical care significantly??

[@diannetgoldingfrankson2105]

I guess you don't see the benefits in the future, you are just interested in being negative, it's people like you why Jamaica was stagnated for 18 years, no vision no future forward planning.

[@dawnb.1127]

Enemy of progress.

[@Cooyah888]

That's a question from a fully dunce.

[@garfieldwhittaker944]

​​@@diannetgoldingfrankson2105both political parties have been holding back Jamaica by not properly decentralization central government to empower the parish councils via their (unused) county configurations to do a better job of maintaining public infrastructure (like the Cornwall COUNTY Hospital) in a more timely manner than is possible from Kingston (which is hogging all the island's taxes and best government planning jobs)...to the disadvantage of the equitable development of rural Jamaica. Another example of how sluggishly costly central government based maintenance of community infrastructure can be can be seen in the slow to non existent repair of the Catherine Hall Stadium in Mobay...not to mention the inability of central government to properly repair the island's rural and residential roads and sidewalks in a tax saving timely manner.

[@phillipbeckford7814]

wouldn't it be wiser if the build a new hospital n then tear down the old structure and continue build??

[@uhuru27]

It's two different hospitals one is for kids

[@diannetgoldingfrankson2105]

I vote this the most ridiculous comment of all times. Aww, so we should destroy a perfectly good building rather than upgrade it and refurbish it. Next time your house needs some minor repairs, just bruk it down and rebuild a new one, instead.

[@Cooyah888]

Go back under the rock u came from.

[@garfieldwhittaker944]

No....to build a whole new 10 storey hospital building from scratch would be far more expensive than to refurbish the current structure. But here is an added point about why the CRH fell into disrepair. As the name suggests the facility is a county wide one which means that it should be managed by a county based government in the form of a fiscally and technically empowered regional county council (run by a board of municipal mayor who collectively oversee a county General Fund designed to MAINTAIN such public infrastructure as county hospitals, schools, rural/residential roads and sidewalks, engage in the timely collection 8f garbage/cleaning of urban drains and rural gullies, as well as the upkeep of public parks/beaches and community sports facilities (like the long standing dilapidated Catherine Hall Stadium. W Jamaica is already spending $billions on maintaining an underutilized parish council based local government system so why not empower them collectively along their county configuration to do more for the😅immediate communities (independently of central government-thus DECOLONIZING/decentralizating the island's monarchy based UNITARY structure of excessively centralized local government system????
