 Tuesday, November 15 marked two weeks since the re-commencement of works at the St Jude Hospital. The Government of St Lucia, through its primary stakeholders namely the Ministry of Health, Wellness and Elderly Affairs, the Ministry of Infrastructure, the Ministry of Economic Development, the contractor, construction and industrial supplies limited, are all working to realise the completion of works on the project. The St Jude Hospital structure has been out of commission since a fire raised an operating theatre, the surgical ward and a pediatric wing of the hospital, and claimed the lives of three on Wednesday, September 9, 2009. Acknowledging the trauma inflicted by the disaster and subsequent arduous process involved in the reconstruction of the site, Minister of Health Honourable Moses Shabbatist, who is also the Parliamentary Representative for Viafort North, says quality healthcare is on the way. He says this will be administered at a suitable location and ensured by a board of directors and a strong management team who will be tasked with the responsibility of the day-to-day management of the statutory entity. Minister Shabbatist says that the joint effort of key stakeholders on the long-standing project marks a certain path to completion of the St Jude Hospital Reconstruction Project. The St Jude Hospital accommodates the healthcare needs of approximately 66,000 people, mainly from the southern belt of the island. Phase 1 of the St Jude Reconstruction Project encompasses the fumigation and cleanup of the site. Thanking for the Ministry of Health, Wellness and Elderly Affairs, I am Jeane Brown.
