With a symbolic sod-turning ceremony at the Gros Islet Polyclinic, the Ministry of Health, Wellness and Elderly Affairs has officially launched critical infrastructural upgrades as part of its commitment to achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC) in Saint Lucia. This initiative marks a major step in transforming the facility into a 24-hour operation, ensuring that residents have continuous access to essential healthcare services.

The planned improvements include the expansion and modernization of the Accident and Emergency Unit, allowing for faster and more efficient patient care. Additionally, new doctors’ offices will be introduced to increase consultation spaces, ensuring a more effective patient flow. The upgrades will also feature a dedicated staff lounge to enhance the comfort and well-being of healthcare professionals.
