Barbados is set to enhance its cancer care capabilities with the reactivation of upgraded radiation therapy facilities at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH). The hospital’s new Halcyon linear accelerator, described as a high-end machine, promises advanced radiation treatments with improved imaging, accuracy, and speed. This development, highlighted by oncologist Dr. Lalitha Sripathi during the Barbados Association of Medical Practitioners’ (BAMP) annual conference, marks a critical step in addressing the island’s growing cancer burden. However, Dr. Sripathi emphasized that technology alone is insufficient. She advocated for a holistic approach to cancer care, encompassing medical, emotional, social, and spiritual support for patients.
