Most people I speak to, object to the plans to close the Royal Victoria Hospital and they wonder at the wisdom of doing so given the ever increasing elderly population and the constant references in the press to older people ‘blocking beds’ in hospitals.
As part of a national plan, I suggest that the Royal Victoria Hospital is upgraded and improved where necessary, so that it can continue to provide for the care of elderly patients, which it does so well at present.
I also suggest that the care accommodation at the Royal Victoria is expanded and that the Royal Victoria becomes one of several centres of excellence for the care of the elderly.

 Royal Victoria Teaching Hospital -- Banjul, The Gambia
The Royal Victoria Hospital (RVH) was built in the 1890s by the British, who also provided funds for a substantial uplift in facilities in 1953 to coincide with the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.
Within 10 years, this programme should make a huge contribution to healthcare in The Gambia, because by then, Gambians will represent the bulk of the doctors in the country – the resulting continuity, skill levels and language knowledge should transform the quality of patient care provided.
The biggest "killer" disease in The Gambia is malaria, with young children and pregnant women being particularly vulnerable, but diabetes, high blood pressure, pneumonia and eye problems such as trachoma and cataracts are also major health problems.
