A new chapter in St. Lucia’s long-running healthcare reconstruction effort has begun this week, as the country kicks off the phased relocation of services to the all-new St. Jude’s Hospital, according to Health Minister Moses Jn Baptiste. Speaking to journalists on Monday, Jn Baptiste confirmed that the week marks the first critical step in the years-in-the-making transition to the permanent new medical facility. “This is the window when the dedicated transitioning team will wrap up preparations to move hospital departments one by one,” the minister explained. “By the end of this week, I expect we will have clarity on which units will be the first to relocate to the new campus.”
