THE committee set up by Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley to investigate the Covid-19 situation in the country wants to hear from patients who were in the parallel healthcare system from March 2020 to January 31, 2022.
In a release on Thursday, chairman of the Committee appointed to investigate the factors contributing to Clinical Outcomes of COVID-19 Patients in Trinidad and Tobago Professor Terence Seemungal said, “We would like to obtain the views only of people who have been patients of the Parallel Healthcare Hospital System.
“In order to have a full appreciation of the quality of any health service, we must obtain the views of patients who used the services provided. With this in mind, we have provided a link to a confidential survey of the views of patients.”
The release stated that patients can do a survey via the Facebook page or the website of the Trinidad and Tobago Medical Association.
It stated that the survey will be open until Friday at 9 pm.
Patients can log on to:

The release stated, “Once you get to the website then scroll down to ‘Survey of COVID-19 patients…’, click on the link and follow the instructions to get to the survey.”
It stated, “The Committee has come directly to the public with this request due to the insistence of the Ministry of Health that the presence of any Ministry of Health participation may bias the outcome of the response of patients.
“This has necessitated this urgent press release requesting of the patients who have used the parallel healthcare system to respond please.”
