In the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa, which devastated St. Elizabeth, Jamaica, the heroic efforts of doctors, nurses, and hospital staff at Black River Hospital have come at a significant personal cost. Despite saving all 71 patients during the storm, many staff members now face homelessness, hunger, and exhaustion. Dr. Robert Powell, an emergency medicine resident, revealed the dire situation during a visit to the storm-ravaged facility. He shared that the hospital was left in ruins, with roofs torn off, wards flooded, and medical equipment destroyed. Beds, patient files, and furniture were scattered across the compound, leaving only a small section of the Accident and Emergency unit partially usable.
