The Ministry of Health, Wellness, and Elderly Affairs has taken decisive action to improve healthcare services at St. Jude’s Hospital, following an increased demand for medical attention in the Admissions and Emergency Room departments. In response, the Ministry has deployed additional medical staff to meet the growing needs of the community and to ensure that quality care is provided efficiently.
Effective Saturday, October 19, 2024, the Ministry has engaged three (3) additional physicians and six (6) nurses to support the hospital’s operations. This strategic move is designed to alleviate pressure on the hospital’s existing staff and to better serve the patients who rely on St. Jude’s Hospital for timely medical care.
This additional staffing initiative reflects the Ministry’s broader goal of improving healthcare access and delivery across the island. In addition to the enhancements at St. Jude’s, the Ministry is actively addressing human resource challenges at the Owen King European Union (OKEU) Hospital. The government has committed funds to hire more staff at both hospitals, further strengthening healthcare capacity at key medical facilities.
