NHI struggling with VI health crisis – Hon Carvin Malone
The Minister who was at the time speaking on the Thursday, July 12, 2019, edition of ‘Umoja’ on ZBVI 780 AM with host Cromwell Smith aka ‘Edju En Ka,‘ also noted that it is better to educate people against poor health practices, rather than rely on expensive ignorance.
Education is Key
According to Hon Malone, “Ignorance is a lot more expensive than education, so at the end of the day we have to choose. We’re going to spend more on ignorance or little on education.”
Speaking on educational initiatives, he said, “It’s going to be a fixture because… as the education goes up, the actual cases… for health care, secondary and tertiary care goes down and so forth. NHI is actually struggling now as we speak because where you would have had one or two cases of extreme cases, [are now] almost on a daily basis every month, every week.”
Hon Malone noted that due to the growing health issues, this has further compelled the government to take action, “You walk into the [Dialysis] room on a Monday, Friday or Wednesday and you’ll be amazed,” he said.
Boosting Public Awareness
The Minister said, however, that when it comes to health and wellness, there are some subjects that will fill an auditorium and others where folks are slower to come, “you have to look at it in terms of a marketing tool to get the public out,” Mr Malone underscored.
Through funding to ‘save people from themselves’ the Health Minister also noted that the goal is to have people become excited to participate in positive health programs.
“There’s no greater motivation than to have the Premier and I be the first participants in the programme… we have to lead from the front,” he said.
Hon Malone hopes the strategy to use Premier and Minister of Finance, Hon Andrew A. Fahie (R1) as a 'marketing' tool, will entice persons to sign up and engage in upcoming health education programmes.

You MS know exactly what it is! Lets start with the vendors you allowed to sell food. NO INSPECTION THEY SELL YOU SPOIL FOOD COOKED IN OLD OIL. YOU GUYS ALLOW THEM TO CUT CORNERS FOR THEIR PROFIT WHILE SACRIFICING THE HEALTH OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC BECAUSE ALMOST ALL OF THEM RELATED TO YOU GUYS. THEN I WILL SPEAK ON INDIVIDUALS PERAONAL BAD HABITS. WANT TO EAT PORK AND MEAT ONA DAILY BASIS, ARE YOU DUMB? BLACK ORIGINAL HUMANS BODY IS NOT SUPPOSE TO CONSUME MEAT AT THAT RATE WE ARE PLANT EATERS BY NATURE WE ARE NOT CARNIVOROUS LIKE OUR MUTATED COUSINS THAT TRAVELED FAR FROM THE EQUATOR. SOME YOU GUYS AND WOMEN ARE JUST BIG FOR NO REASON OTHER THAN GLUTTONY. Then you need the most expensive medical services and you damn broke! if you going to be a pig ay least have some damn money its expensive to live unhealthy only the wealthy should be allowed by la to be pigs. In the end you all just make me sick get rid of yourself and stop destroying poor NHI.
I am happy for it in a sense that my father and mother got insurance for the first time ever.
But they need to go back to the drawing board with the Health Care providers and change those ridiculous charges, before the NHI falls deeper in their bankruptcy.
And what did the government do about regulating it? Absolutely nothing. The rich got richer and the poor got poorer.
Now I’ve know this Man from childhood he won’t make this up
Soo it seems there’s a limit to NHI at some point
I hope this ain’t true else we f.....
