Exactly! Or available to the public! You cannot call 119 and get an ambulance in Ja. This is what our people need to focus on instead of laughing and singing about "Clarkes" etc and blocking roads and court houses foe murderers....Our lack of proper priority is what cause this nation to be behind and we pay for it with our lives everyday😢
They all know what is going on. They know that everything in this airport is a hustle. Most of the employees are rude, lazy and unprofessional. They need a house cleaning and a culture change.
💯 agree, they all need a job description or implement getting training from overseas in good customer service as clearly Jamaica is not up to the job. Both airports are a sham, nothing has changed concerning workers on the ground during the 45 years I've been traveling to Jamaica.
The government of jamaica need to do better because there is no sense of urgency around peoples lives and this is why alot of people who live overseas and even have the intention to return to their country have second thoughts. I love my country but too many of us don't take life seriously. One more funeral behind another for this mans family. My sincere condolences to his family. Smh
It's a "Damn Disgrace" how the management of a dying person who collapse at the Airport was handled. Calling the man relative wasn't a priority and asking for money to pay for Private Ambulance was act of cruelty. You Mr Daryl Vaz, Minister of Transport, please can you eliminate this protocol of Private Ambulance used for the Airport. You cannot rely on Private Ambulance to deal with dying emergencies, because money will be asked for before the patient taken to the Hospital, which is what the lady stated in her report, very disgraceful There will be no time to talk about money, we need to save life and everything need to be done quickly. Mr Daryl Vaz and Mr Tufton, "woonu nuh shame" 😮 Please can you both implement at both our International Airports, a Medical Emergency Department, staff by a Medical Doctor and a Registered Nurse, also to have a Standby Government Ambulance which must be well equipped with emergency equipment. Both of you sir Mr Vaz and Mr Tufton should be held accountable for your negligence in not having a infrastructure for dealing with medical emergency for airline passengers on ground. This man life could be saved if the right response was given. This lady in the report stated that he was gasping for air. Doesn't seems as if the dying man was even given any oxygen by the so call Nurse which probably could perlong his life. Poor Leroy 😢 RIEP
Listen, the whole health system in Jamaica 🇯🇲 needs drastic revolutionary attention! - I know from first hand the ridiculous situation in the health system in Jamaica 🇯🇲- DEAL WITH THESE ISSUES AND STOP RUNNING BEHIND POLITICIANS AND WORSHIPPING AT THE FEET OF STARS! Obviously they were very tardy with the immediate response! I hope it is addressed expeditiously and NOT all these superficial speeches #lovesign
Every body beautifully speaking and no solutions to the the many health problems facing the country. Where is the Min. Of Health? Why the health system in such a mess? No wonder the returning residents don't want to come back to Jamaica.
we need an clinic or a outpatient ward install at the airport with a full time doc and few nurses for incident like these we are clling out the government
Taxi should not be a replacement for an ambulance..I am a RN who just transported stable twin premature babies to a hospital closer to home if anything went wrong trip I have my knowledge and equipment in that ambulance to give life saving treatment until more help arrive
Taxis are not the answer! Having trained persons, appropriate equipment, rapid responding EMS(ambulances, EMTs and Paramedics) is the answer. Apart of the EMS is also notifying the hospital ahead of time that the person/ even will be arrive so thst they can have adequate resources and time to prepare for the person so that they give the person the best chance of survival and saving the person' lives and prevent disabilities.
What if air disaster should happen? I hope that this will never happen because people’s lives are in deep crisis 🙏🙏🙏🙏😢😢😢. Money can’t bring back this person, they should sue for negligence. Shameful behaviour. We are all in the same situation when we travel to third world countries.
Am very upsetting to me three weeks ago my best friend went don't thair from America and was talking to her daughter in long Island when they phone drop out her head she have to watch her father trying to give her mother CPR AND HER BROTHER HAVE TO CALL NEXT DOOR FOR THEM TO RUN OVER TO HELP THAIR DAD PUT THAIR MOTHER IN THE CAR TO TAKE HER TO THE HOSPITAL NO AMBULANCE AVAILABLE AND THAT CHILD AND HER BROTHERS HAVE TO SEE THAIR MOTHER DIE INFRONT OF THEM ALL BECAUSE SHE DID NOT GET HELP FAST ENOUGH IT TAKE THEM 15 MINUTE FROM PORTMORE TO SPANISH TOWN HOSPITAL. IF MY FRIEND WAS IN AMERICA SHE WOULD BE ALIVE TODAY THAT AMBULANCE WOULD BE THAIR IN LESS THAN 3 MINUTE. AND FOR A AIRPORT TO PUT MONEY INFONT OF THIS MAN LIFE SHAME ON ALL OF THEM.
I am a Jamaican but will never give up the UK for Jamaica in the UK your tax dollars are well worth it in Jamaica they tax you but you get nothing in return Jamaicans pay road taxes and the roads are so dangerous to drive on
Mr Lewis looks like a nice person. I feel so disturb to know that airport staff did not act quickly to keep him alive, but putting payment first. Take him to hospital and send payment invoice after.Jet Blue has his info.
Taxis are not the answer in cases of emergencies, whatever the cause! Having trained persons, appropriate equipment, rapid responding EMS (ambulances, EMTs and Paramedics) are the answer. Apart of the EMS response is to also notifying the hospital ahead of time of the person (s) and of the events thst will be arriving so that they can have adequate resources and time to prepare for the person so that they give the person the best chance of survival and saving the person (s) lives, limbs and prevent disabilities. I hope the public will read these and make themselves aware and lobby for these things.......
Unfortunately, one shouldn’t travel to Jamaica without international health coverage (or anywhere really) but especially Jamaica. People criticize the American healthcare system, but at least it is law that a person has the right to emergency medical care and stabilization regardless of insurance or the ability to pay. Jamaica has developed a dog eat dog culture, it’s really sad to see.
The man must have been overwhelmed with all going on with him. No guarantee an ambulance there would have made the situation any different. 71 not 17, someone should have traveled with him
This 71 year old man that you spoke about is my cousin. Wasn't a feeble or sick man He drove himself back and forth from Montego Bay to Westmoreland He looks like he's in his early 60 And very active like a 17 year old The bottom line is (NEGLIGENCE) I'm so heart broken If it wasn't for that lady who went live on the media we the family wouldn't have a clue of what really happened 💯 God always send a witness for His children It hurt so much but he's gone however this is an eye opener for everyone May the Creator of the universe the One and only True and living God protect that lady and her entire family from all harm and danger The entire health system in our country Jamaica is a disaster And it's just the naked truth I rest my case in the Mighty and Powerful Hands of God the (ALL MIGHTY) ALMIGHTY One WE SHOULD ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT (GOD ISN'T PARTIAL AND WE ARE ALL BUT DUST) 2 Timothy chapter 3
All airport staff should be trained to perform CPR and basic life support and AEDs (Defibrillators) should be readily in all the sections within the airport! It is not good enough to say "my condolences".....this is gross negligence on the party of the airport authority, airline and Jamaican government....It should never happened
So why were there none to help that poor man you all heard from eyewitness there was none and taxi was next option and money was demanded to pay firs the whole country needs an overhaul were medical is concerned (this looks bad on the country
This is what happens when th govt divests our institutions to foreigners for nothing! All airports should have their own emergency service w EMT and firefighter capabilities! but e and firen emergency
Jamaica is very poor. We should not have airport in Jamaica. If you don’t have healthcare at the 2 airport in Jamaica is very poor to know a place where Jamaicans the whole world travel through and giving their money tax and them drop underground and no one can help them. I can’t believe this is happening in Jamaicaand Jamaica people spin so much pay so much tax and can’t get help. It is bad. They need to give back the money to the Man for his uncle. Family is not supposed to pay for help into big institution like airport that is very very poor.
There is no ambulance at any airport in foreign country. .. Thry have planes. it’s an airport not a hospital. .. why they never use car carry him to hospital. ? All of you dissing Jamaica always remember you are immigrants and always will be. . Lots of you not even living great life in foreign. Some overworked in order to have things. ..i know lots of people including myself than most in foreign. .. I have travelled and lived abroad. .. I am retired at 45 and not in need of anything . I live on 10 acres and a beautiful house and have great fresh food each day. Crime is rampant in America and Canada also homelessness… Foreign is not paradise
Too many private owners of the important stuff in Jamaica and they have the country under their fingers airplane/airports j.p.s amongst other things we need competition like abroad and then we'll have options

Dollars should not take precedence over someone’s health. This is a SHAME.
Thats Jamaica money first
We are so backward inviting all these tourist and diaspora to come here. This place is a joke
I believe the lady who bŕing this incident to public
Myself is also of the belief that she is speaking the truth......
Slackness!! Health care is not given priority in Jamaica. Shame! Shame!
The lady is telling the truth,shame on the health system and Airport and Jetblue.condolences to the family 😢
Why don't we have an emergency medical facility at the airports with an ambulance?
Exactly! Or available to the public! You cannot call 119 and get an ambulance in Ja.

Its a sad case and a crying shame could happen to anyone. No ambulance 😢
It should be mandatory for Each Airport to have an ambulance and a couple medical staff.

Well said, how can those 2 allow a medical facility so important b run privately? Sell out.

All the unscrupulous liad politicians n their enablers good for is high flown political speeches with no substance.
Jamaica has no ambulance, stop going there, especially senior people. There is no proper health care system there.
National Disgrace!!!!!!!!!
Unacceptable in 2024 to not have emergency contingencies in place @ this major international hub & tourist destination.
Mr Health minister what’s your take on the matter?
Every body beautifully speaking and no solutions to the the many health problems facing the country. Where is the Min. Of Health? Why the health system in such a mess? No wonder the returning residents don't want to come back to Jamaica.
If was any government politicians ambulance reach same time...same suh in the hospital people died on floor no bed to admit
Shame on the airport and these airlines. RIP Sir..
we need an clinic or a outpatient ward install at the airport with a full time doc and few nurses for incident like these we are clling out the government
@douglaspinnock6003 so true I agree 💯
What is the likelyhood of this happening, if we don't have bed space in hospital for locals
Taxis are always on the outside of the airport waiting for service . Thanks for sharing this interesting video ❤❤
Taxi should not be a replacement for an ambulance..I am a RN who just transported stable twin premature babies to a hospital closer to home if anything went wrong trip I have my knowledge and equipment in that ambulance to give life saving treatment until more help arrive

That's disgusting no ambulance 😮
@@ATCoolVibes sure is smh
This is a SHAME
May his soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God Rest In Peace. Amen.🙏🏼🙏🏼
What if air disaster should happen? I hope that this will never happen because people’s lives are in deep crisis 🙏🙏🙏🙏😢😢😢. Money can’t bring back this person, they should sue for negligence. Shameful behaviour. We are all in the same situation when we travel to third world countries.

Our little island needs a lot of help. We better pray.
Pray, we better act. Faith without works is no good.
There is NO public ambulance service in jamaica !! So why are are citizens pretending that one is going to pop up at the airport! 😢
Shame....nothing u so call people in authority say will change my opinion...SHAME😢😢

Is there a senior line at the Airport?
A crying shame
Hope the family gets a good attorney

Jamaica has developed a dog eat dog culture, it’s really sad to see.
This is totally unacceptable and shameful.
Where is jlp now
This is a very unfortunate and disgraceful situation.
The man must have been overwhelmed with all going on with him. No guarantee an ambulance there would have made the situation any different. 71 not 17, someone should have traveled with him
This is very poor!!!! It is because he is not white and not a US CITIZEN. Black people is nothing but a disgrace towards each other!!!!! (Some)
Guess we will never know....Travel with him because he is 71? Not all 71 year old men need an escort.
The airport is lying.
This 71 year old man that you spoke about is my cousin. Wasn't a feeble or sick man
He drove himself back and forth from Montego Bay to Westmoreland
He looks like he's in his early 60
And very active like a 17 year old
The bottom line is (NEGLIGENCE)
I'm so heart broken
If it wasn't for that lady who went live on the media we the family wouldn't have a clue of what really happened 💯
God always send a witness for His children
It hurt so much but he's gone however this is an eye opener for everyone
May the Creator of the universe the One and only True and living God protect that lady and her entire family from all harm and danger
The entire health system in our country Jamaica is a disaster
And it's just the naked truth
I rest my case in the Mighty and Powerful Hands of God the
(ALL MIGHTY) ALMIGHTY One
WE SHOULD ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT
(GOD ISN'T PARTIAL AND WE ARE ALL BUT DUST)
2 Timothy chapter 3
All airport staff should be trained to perform CPR and basic life support and AEDs (Defibrillators) should be readily in all the sections within the airport! It is not good enough to say "my condolences".....this is gross negligence on the party of the airport authority, airline and Jamaican government....It should never happened
The people who are running the airport is the case the goverment need to charge them and the family sue the airport
Was it montego Bay airport?
Being on the floor was the right thing to do at the time as CPR was being done but it is so so sad
Things like these make the government looks bad...politics..OMG...
So why were there none to help that poor man you all heard from eyewitness there was none and taxi was next option and money was demanded to pay firs the whole country needs an overhaul were medical is concerned (this looks bad on the country
Aspeten is not even 10 minutes away this is so sad no help right on ironshore Road not far from the Airport. Sad sad
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
This is what happens when th govt divests our institutions to foreigners for nothing! All airports should have their own emergency service w EMT and firefighter capabilities! but e and firen emergency
It is a disgrace what if a plane crash what the hell would happen this is really bad
U don't get it
Jamaica is colour prejudice
Mr. VAZ will.soon change this I do hope
Jamaica is very poor. We should not have airport in Jamaica.

There is no ambulance at any airport in foreign country. .. Thry have planes. it’s an airport not a hospital. .. why they never use car carry him to hospital. ? All of you dissing Jamaica always remember you are immigrants and always will be. . Lots of you not even living great life in foreign. Some overworked in order to have things. ..i know lots of people including myself than most in foreign. .. I have travelled and lived abroad. .. I am retired at 45 and not in need of anything . I live on 10 acres and a beautiful house and have great fresh food each day. Crime is rampant in America and Canada also homelessness… Foreign is not paradise
Ambulance not on the airport site if there's a emergency
Too many private owners of the important stuff in Jamaica and they have the country under their fingers airplane/airports j.p.s amongst other things we need competition like abroad and then we'll have options
The airport should have on ambulance there on stop no call for 8 mins ambulance away from airport.
I think jet blue should have stepped up he was traveling with them
Thats Jamaica 🇯🇲 My country.
Awe 😢😢😢😢😢😢aweeeeee😂😂😂😂😂😂
They will tamper with the cameras to cover up their carelessness
