Extended Opening Hours for SERHA Health Centres
November 4, 2022The Full Story
It is that time of year when hospital visits within the South East Regional Health Authority (SERHA) will increase due to the flu, dengue and other seasonal illnesses. This normally leads to longer waiting times and some overcrowding, particularly in accident and emergency departments. We ask for patience and understanding as our doctors and nurses work to cope with these seasonal illnesses.
Members of the public are being encouraged to use their community health centres for mild symptoms and let their doctor or nurse determine if they should visit the hospital for further care. The SERHA is pleased to announce that there are extended opening hours in a number of health centres in the parishes of Kingston and St Andrew, St Catherine and St Thomas, and will now be open to see patients up to 8:00pm on designated days.
