The Physiotherapy Department at Cornwall Regional Hospital (CRH) in Montego Bay got a much-needed gift on Tuesday when the Global Services Association of Jamaica (GSAJ) presented the institution with 2,000 face masks and 50 face shields.
The face masks and face shields, valued at J$230,000, were handed over to representatives of the hospital on the grounds of the West Jamaica Conference of Seventh-day Adventists (WJCSA) by a team from the GSAJ, which represents business process outsourcing (BPO) firms.
Denise Forsythe, CRH’s manager of physiotherapy services, told The Gleaner that the gift of masks would go a long way towards the staff’s care of approximately 100 physio patients, inclusive of 50 who stay at the facility for treatment.
“I would just like to express our sincere gratitude to the GSAJ for the gift of masks and face shields for the department,” said Forsythe.
Dr Delroy Fray, CRH’s clinical coordinator, told The Gleaner that the face masks and shields would also be used by staff in the hospital’s Radiology Department.
