In a recent development, the Southern Regional Health Authority (SRHA) has issued a public advisory regarding severe flooding affecting access to the Mandeville Regional Hospital in Manchester, Jamaica. The primary roadway leading to the hospital’s front gate has been rendered impassable due to the rising waters. As an alternative, the SRHA has directed the public to use the entrance located at Hargreaves Avenue near Cecil Charlton Hall. Meanwhile, in St. Elizabeth, Superintendent Coleridge Minto, the divisional commander, has confirmed that the road leading to the Black River Hospital is also blocked. These disruptions highlight the challenges posed by adverse weather conditions in the region, potentially impacting emergency services and patient care. Authorities are urging residents to exercise caution and utilize the designated alternate routes to ensure access to essential medical facilities.
