Grenada’s Ministry of Mental Health, Wellness, and Religious Affairs has announced a key infrastructure upgrade for one of the country’s leading mental health care facilities, confirming that renovation works will get underway on Block C of the Mt Gay Psychiatric Hospital in St George’s Mt Gay neighborhood starting Monday, September 28, 2026.
To accommodate the construction work while minimizing disruption to patient care, all patients currently housed in Block C will be moved on a temporary basis to a recently refurbished wing located elsewhere on the hospital campus. Ministry officials note that this relocation plan has been structured to maintain consistent care standards and avoid any disruption to ongoing treatment programs.
In an effort to keep visitors safe and support efficient progress on the renovation site, the ministry is reminding all members of the public planning to visit loved ones at the hospital to contact the facility directly in advance to confirm updated visitation arrangements. This precautionary measure has been implemented to support the construction schedule while upholding the safety and well-being of patients, visitors, and on-site medical staff throughout the renovation period.
This refurbishment project forms a core component of the Government of Grenada’s broader long-term initiative to upgrade national health infrastructure and raise the overall quality of healthcare services accessible to residents across the country. By investing in the improvement of mental health care facilities, the government is working to address growing demand for accessible, high-quality mental health support and bring aging hospital infrastructure into line with modern care standards.
The ministry has issued a formal assurance to patients, their families, and the general public that all routine and emergency mental health services will remain fully operational without interruption for the full duration of the renovation work. Official project timelines have not yet been released, but the ministry notes that updates will be shared publicly as the project progresses.
In closing, the Ministry of Mental Health, Wellness, and Religious Affairs expressed gratitude in advance for the public’s patience, understanding, and cooperation as the upgrade work moves forward, emphasizing that the end result will be a safer, more functional space that delivers better care for patients for years to come.
