   The USA’s Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN) was formed to publicizes the need for the medical establishment to be more rigorous in adhering to its acknowledged obligation to ensure a patient is given enough information of benefits vs. possible adverse side effects to enable that patient to provide a fully informedconsent before accepting a new drug, vaccine or other medical procedure.

   In the video linked below, ICAN’s CEO Del Bigtree, “sits down with some of France’s most influential doctors, scientists, journalists, and legal advocates, uncovering shocking new information that points to a calculated plan leading into the COVID-19 pandemic response—and bringing him one step closer to identifying the ‘they’ responsible for what he calls ‘the craziest thing that has ever happened in human history.’”

   strong>Walcott touts QEH expansion plans

   The Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH) is poised to improve the country’s delivery of primary and intensive care through the expansion and redevelopment of the Enmore Complex at Martindale’s Road in St Michael.

   The US$175 million redevelopment project is scheduled to be completed within 42 months and encompasses the design, construction, and commissioning of a modern multi-storey health care facility with a bridge connecting the facility to the QEH.

   Speaking during a public consultation held last week at the Lloyd Erskine Sandiford Centre, Two Mile Hill, St Michael, Senior Minister Responsible for Social and Environmental Policy Senator Dr The Most Honourable Jerome Walcott said the added space will facilitate a helipad for airlifting patients, an oncology unit, a burn facility and a clinical pathology lab. The space will also help address a number of issues relating to patient congestion.

   “We often hear that persons are waiting for long periods of time in the A&E [Accident & Emergency] and other areas waiting for beds. This is a recurrent and vexing problem and indeed, intermittent shortage of intensive care beds, intensive care unit beds, especially when we have very ill patients, be it from trauma, motor vehicle accidents, or indeed people who are very ill.

   “Oftentimes, when there’s a shortage, these people have to be accommodated in the recovery room. And as a result, the surgical lists are affected. Congestion in your patient’s department speaks for itself,” he said.

   Four developmental banking agencies have come together to support the initiative, namely the Inter-American Development Bank, the Caribbean Development Bank, the World Bank, and the Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean.

   Broad-based support The investment is seen not only as a push for tertiary care but as broad-based support for primary care initiatives, such as mental health reform and the support of training and community-based outreach.

   “It would provide enhanced health care infrastructure and expand specialised medical services. With this will come advanced treatment options and certainly will position Barbados as a competitive destination for medical tourism within the Caribbean.

   “Concomitantly with this would be investments in cutting edge technology, skill or more skilled health personnel and research and teaching capabilities will contribute to improve public health outcomes, economic diversification, and of course job creation,” he added Other developments facilitated by the expansion include the reintroduction of a burns intensive care unit which Walcott said has been sorely lacking in Barbados.

   “The last four serious burn patients that we had in Barbados, they were all recommended to be airlifted out to other countries as far as Panama for treatment. None of them survived. When I was a doctor years ago at the hospital, there was a burns unit and I believe as we go forward in the 21st century to speak of having a tertiary hospital and not having a burns unit, you’re making fun,” he added.

   Additionally, the setup of a dedicated oncology lab is also expected as the QEH aims to increase their efficiency of response to growing incidents of chronic disease, especially cancers.

   “There’s much more that is needed for us to provide a sort of comprehensive cancer treatment that is needed in this country at this time. We certainly need a PET scanner, we need a new gamma CT scan, a new brachytherapy facility, and of course, it is time we got into the real world with cyclotrons for the production of our own radio-pharmaceuticals either as markers or for specific treatment,” he added.

   QEH under fire

   Some docs cry foul over Ethiopian specialists

   By Maria Bradshaw

   mariabradshaw@nationnews.com

   The arrival of the first batch of Ethiopian health care professionals at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH) has ignited controversy, with junior doctors accusing hospital management of bypassing standard recruitment protocols to fill newly-created positions without a level playing field.

   The deployment of the specialists comes under a landmark government-to-government agreement signed earlier this year, but the initial roll-out has met with reservations from local medical staff.

   Several disgruntled doctors told the Weekend Nation that they feel sidelined by the arrangement, raising serious concerns about transparency and the creation of new job titles.

   At the heart of the dispute is the hiring of the Ethiopian doctors under the title of ‘clinical consultant’. The local doctors argue that this position never previously existed at the hospital and was notably absent from the most recent list of vacancies published before the arrival of the Ethiopian health care workers earlier this month.

   “When we queried this new position, we were informed that there were no more positions available,” a doctor revealed. “We were told that they would be paid the same salary as a senior registrar and even though they were given this title, technically they are not consultants.”

   According to hospital sources, standard consultants at the QEH work 20-hour weeks and are permitted to practise privately outside the hospital. In contrast, the new “clinical consultants” are expected to work 40-hour weeks for additional pay but are strictly prohibited from engaging in private practice.

   The Weekend Nation understands that the Barbados Association of Medical Practitioners (BAMP), which initially supported the bilateral deal, has been forced to intervene to mediate the conflict.

   Dr Keo Forde-St Hill, first vice-president of BAMP, confirmed the union’s engagement with the issue. “We are aware of all of these concerns and they are at a sensitive stage. We have engaged the QEH in regards to that matter,” she said.

   Management at the QEH has firmly denied that the positions were not advertised or created specifically for the foreign recruits. In a statement, the hospital said the posts had been available for some time and were offered locally first.

   “With respect to the Ethiopian medical team, the positions being filled were not newly created specifically for these recruits. These posts had been available for some time and were first offered locally. However, there was insufficient uptake to fill the vacancies,” the QEH stated.

   Recruitment internationally

   The hospital emphasised that as has been done in the past when critical posts could not be filled locally, recruitment was undertaken internationally, this time in Ethiopia. The administration noted that this was a Ministry of Health and Wellness-led initiative intended to strengthen staffing in critical areas such as Accident & Emergency, radiology, anaesthesiology and oncology.

   The controversy arises as the first tranche of 12 Ethiopian specialists begin their two-year contracts, marking the practical implementation of a memorandum of understanding signed on May 20 this year in Geneva by Barbados’ Minister of Health and Wellness Senator Lisa Cummins and Ethiopian Health Minister Dr Mekdes Daba Feyissa.

   The deal establishes a structured framework for health workforce mobility between Barbados and Ethiopia. From the Ethiopian perspective, the deployment is viewed as a strategic move to manage labour migration through legal channels while providing opportunities for its professionals.

   State Minister of Health, Sahrela Abdullahi, highlighted the dual benefits of the arrangement: “Sending health professionals abroad in a legal and organised manner creates job opportunities. It also helps to manage professional migration in an orderly manner.”

   She noted that the agreement helps overcome barriers.

   “The lack of uniformity in training and professional licensing systems has been a barrier to professionals,” Abdullahi added, noting that Ethiopia was strengthening bilateral cooperation to facilitate professional mobility.

   The partnership will result in recruitment across several disciplines, including doctors, nurses, midwives, pharmacists and dental professionals.

   Former WHO Director Breaks Her Silence on Her Own COVID-19 Vaccine Injury.

   This testimony was given at Canada’s recently concluded Allison Inquiry, formed by a Canadian MP to give voice to the large number of Canadians suffering disabling, difficult to treat and uncompensated vaccine induced injuries after taking the experimental COVID-19 vaccines. Many Canadians feel that these vaccines were unjustly and inappropriately forced on them by the Federal and Provincial governments, health agencies, and business interests.

   YouTube description:

   As a former communications director and researcher who authored reports for the World Health Organization, Patricia Leidl understood global health policy firsthand. But when an extreme series of health issues derailed her life and career, she found herself facing widespread medical gaslighting and isolation.

   Watch Patricia Leidl’s full, unedited testimony before the Allison Inquiry as she recounts her symptoms, her journey to seek care, and why she chose to speak out despite the personal and professional costs.

   One Canadian mainstream media outlet, the Toronto Sun, finally acknowledges that too many Canadians were shafted after being propagandized and/or compelled to take the experimental COVID-19 vaccines while government parliamentarians and agencies were also promising at the time that those “few” who suffered vaccine related injuries would receive medical care and compensation for injuries suffered.

   Instead, large numbers of those who suffered significant, debilitating, life altering, vaccine caused injuries were shuffled to the side, told by some doctors “it was all in their head”, as they were marginalized and almost bankrupted having to search out and find medical doctors willing to treat them. Many families with injured family members were shamefully cast adrift by the Canadian medical establishment to fend for themselves and left with enormous financial burdens in their attempts to find treatment for a multitude of crippling or even death dealing injuries after following the government’s advice and encouragement (or even, in some cases a mandate) to to take the “safe and effective” COVID-19 vaccines in order to remain employed.

   All the above became clearer in the wake of the recently concluded Allison Inquiry, called (without official parliamentary support) by Progressive Conservative Party MP Dean Allison. This gave many vaccine-injured Canadians an opportunity to testify with regards to injuries or deaths suffered and the endless government run around they experienced trying to get their injuries acknowledged as vaccine related and worthy of priority medical treatment and financial compensation.

   Note that, at the time, the Toronto Sun, publisher of the following article, was totally on board with the rest of the big-business interests and government agencies propagandizing to have every living soul take the experimental vaccine while paying scant or no attention at all to the concept of informed consent, i.e. that long recognized medial ethics prescribes no one should be forced to undergo any medical procedure or take any substance into their body as a medical treatment without having a right to first consider the benefits vs. possible harmful effects of said treatment.

   STUDIN: Allison Inquiry must now lead to resignations and full public inquiry
   Biggest health policy mistake in Canadian history at best, or crime against humanity at worst

   Author of the article: Irvin Studin
   Published Sep 17, 2026

   History notes many countries that have lost their minds in periods of emergency. And that even the sanest of societies can, under pressure and panic, preside over catastrophes once presumed unthinkable.

   Last week’s Allison Inquiry in Ottawa proved that our beloved Canada — once among the world’s most civilized and well-governed — is no exception. It showed, in full technicolour, that which an ever-growing number of thinking people now realize — that the COVID-19 vaccine program, deployed at the height of pandemic-period mania, injured tens of thousands of regular Canadians, and killed thousands of Canadians to boot.

   We can and must no longer pretend — and I am not for pretending: The Canadians who testified at the inquiry to their vaccine injuries, and to the deaths of loved ones from the vaccine, were from all walks of life and all parts of the country. They were of all ages. Most were perfectly healthy and productive — some even elite athletes — before taking the COVID-19 vaccine in Canada.

   The vaccine-injured or killed Canadians are our friends and neighbours. I know of many myself — some in my own family. And so, I will wager, do you. One has only to look hard enough — such was the scale and intensity of national vaccination, in multiple doses, supported by a hyper-aggressive national and international campaign of persuasion and, in many cases, compulsion.

   How could this ever happen? What have we done? Answer: We have witnessed the biggest health policy mistake in Canadian history at best, or a crime against humanity at worst.

   Guidance led to disaster
   In the pandemic fog, Ottawa hastily approved a series of foreign pharmaceutical products that were patently defective — that is, despite not having been tested thoroughly (and certainly not in Canada, by Canadians for Canadians!), we unfurled them onto a dazed, tired population looking for proper guidance from our political and medical leaders. The guidance that followed led to disaster — the zealous deployment of faulty mRNA vaccines across the second largest country on Earth.
