Although he was fully vaccinated, he was also 84 years old and was a cancer patient who had undergone treatment for multiple myeloma — factors that put him at higher risk of a serious breakthrough illness.

A partnership between India and the UN Development Partnership (UNDP) Fund will see the introduction of robotics and telemedicine systems to Trinidad and Tobago.
It is part of the covid19 pandemic management strategy. This funding will support the healthcare project “Bringing High and Low Technology (HALT) to Covid19 in TT,” which began in September. It was launched on Thursday at the office of UN resident co-ordinator in TT Marina Walter.
The Government of India has donated US$1 million to the project, which the UN team in TT, the Pan American Health Organisation (PAHO) and the World Health Organization (WHO) will implement over the next year. They will be assisted by the Ministry of Health and technical support from the University of TT.
Walter said apart from washing hands, wearing masks and social distancing, the covid19 fight needed to be taken up a notch and use technology as well.
“There is a space in this battle against covid19 for digital technology like telemedicine, medical consultations through automated solutions, that allow patients to do routine medical consultations over the internet or to be registered and screened at a health centre or hospital, while they wait to be seen or vaccinated.
“These technologies could increase access to medical care for everyone, for those who are afraid or reluctant to go to a hospital, or for those who are disable or live in rural areas,” she explained.
Walter added that such technologies would also reduce the burdens on the health care system, nurses, doctors and auxiliary staff.
Introducing the medical sector to digital solutions, she said, will have a catalytic effect on the population, even in their daily lives.
