In light of the fact that the structure of Caribbean Heart Institute (CHI) is quickly becoming too small for its operation, moves are apace for expansion.This disclosure was made by Medical Director of the facility, Dr Mahendra Carpen, who during an interview with this publication recently, said that not only are plans moving swiftly along in terms of extension, but there are moves for the development of a public sector cardiology wing.CHI’s Dr Mahendra CarpenThis move, he said, will allow for the interconnection of the operation of CHI and a public sector cardiology wing operated by the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC).In essence, Dr Carpen said that CHI will exist alongside the public hospital’s operation cardiology unit and “we will be seeing patients with all kinds of different pathologies.”Though the plans are indicative of a major development, Dr Carpen pointed out that it was in fact in the planning phases for awhile, but is now progressing with great support from the University of Calgary of Alberta, Canada, the Ministry of Health and the Georgetown Public Hospital Administration.The collaboration is essential, Dr Carpen noted,China NFL Jerseys, since in order for such big developments to happen there must be the cooperation of several partners.Added to this, he said that CHI will be an integral part of what happens in the public part of cardiology because “we will use this unit as the nursery to train people to go out and be part of cardiac care.”However,NFL Jerseys Outlet, CHI will remain a privately-managed facility situated in the confines of the semi-autonomously operated GPHC which caters to the medical need of public patients.But as Consultant Cardiologist to the GPHC, Dr Carpen is tasked with managing patients who suffer from cardiac conditions “to the best of the abilities within the context of what is available.”? These patients who are greater in number than those seen by the CHI are often much sicker and are therefore generally the ones who “a lot of the time need the type of care only available at CHI or over at the Dr Balwant Singh Hospital, and unfortunately, there are factors that prevent those patients from getting care immediately.”Moreover, Dr Carpen said that efforts are being made to address the issues surrounding this state of affairs.“These are not things that we will be solving overnight, but lots of contributing factors have to come together so that we could have the proper outcome of these patients,” the Medical Director said.He said that the CHI will continue to provide an efficient service to its patients,NFL Jerseys China, which is aided by an outstanding staff comprising about 12 nurses and doctors, including Haydock Wilson and Clement McEwan.

Added to this, he said, the operation is on par with what is found further afield.However, although CHI caters to 400 heart patients per month, half of whom are new cases,NFL Jerseys Supply, Dr Carpen disclosed that there are still some who are unwilling to use the local facility. He added too that “the fact that some people don’t want to come here is cultural, and you can’t fault people for still thinking that way; they were probably led into that belief, but I can one hundred per cent guarantee you that the level of care that our patients receive is comparable to anything that you would find in the Caribbean.”“Yes there are places with more fancy equipment and people with longer experience doing a lot of things, but the solid scientific principle of managing patients here is no different than anywhere else and that includes North America,” said a confident Dr Carpen who insisted that “I can speak with authority on the way we manage our patients at CHI.”But despite the impressive status that CHI has developed for itself, Dr Carpen noted that the facility, like any other ‘worth its salt’ “will lose patients and that is somethin
