Minister for Health and Wellness, Sabrina Turner, announced Thursday night at the Seafarer’s Hall that she has now secured a partnership with Health City Cayman Islands to bring free health care services to the electoral district of Prospect.

The announcement was made by Minister Turner as a part of her periodic community update, a pre-election promise that she is meeting.

Expounding on the new development, Minister Turner said:

As your Minister of Health and Wellness, I saw the need of bringing health care services to our constituencies.

I am all about preventative care.

And definitely, you can no longer sit by where people feel any less because they either don’t have funds to go to a doctor or they do not have insurance.

So, I have partnered with a health care facility, who is willing to bring a doctor into the constituency once a month.

That will be free of charge to you, the people.

Upon hearing about the new offering, some of the attendees clapped, cheering on Minister Turner for the move.

Ben Meade, Marketing & Communications Manager at Health City Cayman Islands, was also on hand to give more information about the programme for the electoral district of Prospect.

Mr Meade shared that the offering is “about bringing health care to the community and ensuring everyone (who requires care) can get the care they need.”

For us , we are focusing on cancer screenings for the community.

We are looking at a broad number of cancers that impact the community.

We will have a comprehensive cancer screening [and] we are going to do this over several months.

We don’t want to wait until you have a short timeframe.

We want to help diagnose the members of our community with this screenings so that you can get the care that you need when you need it.

These screenings come at no cost.

Mr Meade explained further.

Members of the electoral district of Prospect may now look forward to these free health care services, which may be critical for those who are either not insured or under-insured.
