Three maternal deaths for the year have marred the Ministry of Health's clean record for 2018. Newly-appointed Director of Women's Health, Dr. Adesh Sirjusingh, says the Regional Health Authorities are working hard to keep women, especially mothers, safe. Special Medical Officer from Sangre Grande, Dr. Brequelle Timothy, says getting control of high blood pressure, seizures, or any disease before pregnancy is important for maternal health. Dr. Sirjusingh says the health system in the country has improved due to what he calls the “Big Brother” system in which new policies, programmes and protocols have been initiated. He says with dress rehearsals, emergency drills, and team meetings, health delivery has improved, both for those imparting the service and patients.
