Prominent Doctor raises questions about the need for a special health advisor to Dominica’s Cabinet

Prominent Ear Nose & Throat (ENT) specialist, Dr Irving Pascal, is raising questions about the need for a special health advisor to cabinet, when there are existing managers in the Health Care Ministry in Dominica.
Recently Dr. Ranford Paul Ricketts was appointed as Special Health Advisor, and also appointed as an Ambassador-at-Large, purportedly to develop appropriate strategies that will strengthen the health care system in Dominica, especially on matters pertaining to the delivery of care services.
However, in Dr. Pascal’s opinion, that move by government indirectly reflects a lack of confidence in the current team within the ministry.
