Jamaica<\/p>\n

Work is set to commence on major expansion works at the Spanish Town Hospital early next year.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am pleased to advise that the tender for the Spanish Town Hospital will be in the public domain in May 2022. Based on Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) procurement procedures, it is anticipated that we should have engaged a contractor by the end of the calendar year and work should commence early in 2023,\u201d said Minister of Health and Wellness, Dr. the Hon. Christopher Tufton.<\/p>\n

He was speaking during his contribution to the 2022\/23 Sectoral Debate in the House of Representatives on May 3.<\/p>\n

The expansion of the hospital is being facilitated under a US$50-million IDB project.<\/p>\n

In November 2021, Dr. Tufton presented the designs for three hospitals and 10 health centres that will be financed under this loan facility.<\/p>\n

The investment at Spanish Town Hospital will see the creation of an accident and emergency wing with ambulatory and ambulance bay, triage and consulting rooms; patient wards and, among other things, lounge, and lunch areas; a radiology department pharmacy and outpatient department; a surgical floor and patient wards; a basement area that includes staff parking, and a sky bridge that links the existing administration and dietary blocks.<\/p>\n
