The enhanced IT capabilities at Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre will improve operational efficiency, provide healthcare professionals with essential tools, and ultimately elevate patient care standards.’
Shelton Flash, Director of B2B for Liberty Caribbean’s North Caribbean region, addressed the operational necessity of reliable connectivity: ‘In healthcare environments, robust indoor connectivity has transitioned from convenience to operational imperative. This upgrade facilitates clinical coordination, enables timely decision-making, and improves experiences for all hospital users.’
