The Ministry of Health, Wellness, and Elderly Affairs is actively progressing with plans to provide 24-hour healthcare services at the Gros Islet Polyclinic. The ongoing infrastructure upgrade at the facility represents a strategic investment in improving access to quality healthcare for the northern region of Saint Lucia.
Construction at the site commenced earlier this year and is moving forward as anticipated. Monty Emmanuel, Engineer at the Ministry of Health, confirmed that the project is on track and emphasized the government’s commitment to timely completion.
“The project originally started in January and is scheduled to finish in July, which is a six-month period. The project so far is going according to plan. I mean, we had some rain, so there were a few delays, but these delays are not a large enough setback to affect the project. I mean, the contractor would have to put in a little more time to speed up work, but then it is not a huge delay. So we are basically on schedule,” he stated.
