Injured UWP Soufriere constituency caretaker candidate Dr Sam Christian is reportedly still in critical condition in Martinique but improving slowly. Dr. Sam Christian was recently airlifted to Martinique for medical attention after suffering a serious injury during a vehicular accident in Pointe Michel. His cousin, Avonelle Christian, who was with him in Martinique recently, said she hopes he will have a full recovery despite his slow improvement.
She said, “He is still in grave condition because his pelvis was broken, but he is being stabilized on his bed. He is in very high spirits. I am thankful that he can move his right leg and right foot, and he can wiggle the toes on his left leg, which means that he likely will be able to walk again.” She added that a GoFundMe page was created on Dr. Sam’s behalf called “Friends of Dr. Sam Christian” which will be used to raise funds for his medical expenses and for the restoration of his health, which is very expensive. He is expected to be in the hospital for a very long time. He has more surgeries to come as well, but we are just thankful that he has the opportunity to be able to recover.” She added, “I am very thankful to the people who have contributed so far”. She hopes the people in the Diaspora who have been very generous in the past, will continue with funding the efforts relating to his recovery.” Christian revealed that plans are being made to set up a foundation to assist persons who go through these circumstances like her cousin and cannot afford the financial expenses required for medical treatment. She added, “My cousin Gabriel Christian is also advocating for the exchange of knowledge and information from neighbouring hospitals and clinics and even beyond the neighboring islands, and for bringing that knowledge back to Dominica, so that we can improve the medical care on the island.” Christian thanked all those who made arrangements in sending Dr. Sam to Martinique for medical attention, including the government and people of Dominica.
