 Coming to you from RGIS Studios, I am Anicia Antoine and this is your media news brief. The Ministry of Health and Wellness, in partnership with the Pan-American Health Organization, PAHO, is currently undertaking the SMART Healthcare Facilities in the Caribbean project in St. Lucia. The project is geared towards building resilience in the health sector. Speaking on the programme in focus, engineer in the Ministry of Health and Wellness, Monty Emanuel, explained that out of the 34 facilities on Ireland, 12 of them were selected in the initial stage of the project. Six of these facilities have been completed, with six to be completed by the end of the year. The SMART Healthcare Facilities in the Caribbean project is currently implemented in four participating countries, Dominica, Grenada, St. Lucia and St. Vincent and the Grenadines. The project is funded by the United Kingdom's Department for International Development, DFID. St. Lucia is again from part of the 2019 Class of Chevenin Scholarship Holders. During a formal farewell event for the award holders for 2019-2020, resident British High Commissioner Steve McCready encouraged the awardees to make the most of the experience. The three Chevenin Scholars for 2019 are Liz Joseph, studying Law at the University College London, Cherica Trim, studying Humanitarian and Conflict Response, at the University of Manchester and Anulem Mitchell, studying Financial Analysis and Fund Management at the University of Exeter.
