 Miku North residents no longer have to travel outside of their constituency to access primary health services. The construction of a new wellness center is now completed. The project has been more than 25 years in the making. On July 14, 2022, the Miku Wellness Center was officially opened and now serves Miku North residents and environs. In addition to expressing his gratitude towards the medical workers operating out of the Miku Wellness Center, Prime Minister Hon. Philip J. Pierre gave assurances of his administration's commitment to improving public health administration and infrastructure in St. Lucia. St. Lucia is not the worst for healthcare. Could be better. There could be a lot of improvement, but St. Lucia is not the worst for healthcare. Considering the price, the cost of healthcare in St. Lucia is not the best, but it's not the worst. So we have to have a sense of gratitude to the health personnel and the people who work in our services. But that doesn't mean that they must be complacent. That doesn't mean that they must not have the highest level of customer care. Cognizant of the challenges affecting healthcare delivery, Hon. Pierre disclosed discussions with Minister for Health, Hon. Moses Jababtees, to remedy the issues at both the local and national levels are advancing. The problem most of the time is communication. We do not speak to people. And that is why when we go into government, I said to the Minister of Health, we must try to employ some client welfare officers who talk to people. People just want to be spoken to. People just want to be told what is wrong and what is right. And if there is one issue that some people have with medical people is they do not communicate enough with their patients. They don't explain to their patients really what's happening. If they don't explain to them, they don't say to them why something is happening. And I'm sure if there's a little more communication, people should speak more with the medical people. And I know they're very stressed. I know they're underpaid. I know they're overworked. I am aware of that. But I'm saying if we speak a little more, many other problems, many of the complaints will be alleviated. The government of St. Lucia secured funding to construct the MECO Wellness Centre from the World Bank. The facility is also climate resilient and is able to withstand the ferocity of major hurricanes and storms. A climate smart rainwater harvesting system is also incorporated in the designs to further augment the building's water storage capacity. From the office of the Prime Minister, Rihanny Isidore.
