As mentioned before, VERY EXPENSIVE clinic that is under used. A waste of money and manpower

Nope. Wrong. It’s a first aid post for bumps and bruises.
From the Lambe Foggo website:
“You might need the Lamb Foggo Urgent Care Centre if you have a minor illness or injury that needs immediate attention, but is in no way life-threatening and is not likely to need surgery or sophisticated diagnostic equipment. This means something like a bump, bruise, graze, cut, cough, cold or earache.”

Lamb/Foggo was designed to handle the Critically Ill too. have you been inside? It has all the latest monitoring equipment and treatment meds and experienced staff!

This is especially important for when the bridge is not working or there is an airport disaster.

Yup, they’re just lining things up for the announcement of the closure of Lamb Foggo.

Go ahead close it then the 20+ patients they see can sit in ER …… That clinic takes the pressure off the ER as NON emergencies can go there

It is stationed at Port royal. Warwick post office is a standby point during particular situations.

It needs to be closed. It is a very expensive first aid centre. Remember we are supposed to be cutting costs. Plus, It is much more important to have immediate transport from both the east and the west for patients who are critically ill. This system is long overdue for residents who reside the furthest distance away from the acute care hospital. Please note it is nothing to do with politics it is doing the best for Bermuda residents.

The ambulance service covers the western end of the island from Khyber Pass to Dockyard, and I’m sure the east is not solely for St.George area.

Lamb/Foggo would have been the ideal base for the East End ambulance service; one more move on the part of the OBA government to close the Lamb/Foggo Urgent care facility. The fact that the Minister of Health Mrs Atherden did not give a clear answer to the future of Lamb/Foggo only means this government will bide it’s time until they announce to the people of the East End that they will be closing Lamb/Foggo and in which case just like Texas where the battle cry was ‘Remember the Alamo’; the political cry come the next election should be ‘Remember Lamb/Foggo’.

This is long overdue,however the question I have is why is k.e.m.h ambulance stationed next to the Warwick post office and not at the Southampton fire station?

Finally, something that should have been in place many years ago. There was no need to build the Lamb Foggo Urgent care facility when all that was needed was a 24/7 dedicated ambulance service for both far ends of the island. I’m grateful that the Govt has made it happen and hopefully I’ll never need this service.
