Advice on Patients Rights and Medical Care

This website aims to inform patients of their rights, and urge them to be alert and pro-active in their health care. We welcome constructive comments alerting readers to medical issues in the Bahamas or elsewhere.

However, we cannot accept comments that would raise issues of libel against any individual. The only defense to libel is to prove the truth of the comment made. This could result in a court action, and expert witnesses would have to attend to give evidence as to the truth of the comment.
