National naming competition for the new proposed Grenada Public Hospitals Authority

The Caribbean nation of Grenada is opening the door for public participation in a key healthcare transformation project, launching a National Naming Competition to crowdsource creative ideas for the official identity of its upcoming Grenada Public Hospitals Authority. The initiative is being led by the government’s Hospital Statutorisation Transition Team, and forms a core part of the broader hospital statutorisation effort – a landmark reform aimed at overhauling the country’s public healthcare services.\n\nAt its core, the statutorisation reform will create an independent statutory body with its own dedicated governing framework. This structural shift is designed to grant greater operational and resource management flexibility to public hospitals, with the end goal of cultivating a more efficient, transparent, and patient-centered care system across the country. Rather than imposing a pre-determined identity on this new institution, the transition team has opted to invite all Grenadians to help shape its public face, reflecting the reform’s focus on public ownership and accountability.\n\nThe competition calls on participants to submit original proposals across three core components of institutional identity: an official name, a logo, and a tagline. Entries are split into two divisions based on age: a Student Category for those under 18, and an Adult Category for participants 18 and older. The transition team encourages submissions that reflect Grenada’s unique national identity and collective pride, while also embodying key values including good governance, public trust, innovation, service excellence, inclusive care, and a long-term commitment to high-quality healthcare for future generations.\n\nCash prizes will be awarded to top entries in both categories, with first-place winners receiving EC$1,500 and second-place winners taking home EC$1,000. This competition represents more than just a branding exercise; it offers Grenadians a rare opportunity to leave a lasting mark on the future of the nation’s public hospital care. However, organizers note that winning submissions do not guarantee final adoption – the transition team retains the right to refine, adapt, or modify winning entries, and a winning proposal may not ultimately become the official identity of the new authority.\n\nAll entries must be submitted via email to hsttcompetition@gmail.com by the deadline of October 23, 2026. For up-to-date competition announcements, additional details about the hospital statutorisation initiative, and answers to frequently asked questions, the public is invited to follow the Hospital Statutorisation Transition Team’s official Facebook page. The campaign closes with a unifying call to action: “Your Voice. Your Hospitals. Our Future.”\n\nFor additional inquiries, interested participants can contact the transition team directly by phone at +1 (473) 423-4195, via email at the address listed above, or through messages sent to their official Facebook page. This public engagement exercise underscores the government’s commitment to inclusive, transparent healthcare reform, putting the design of the new system’s public identity directly into the hands of the people it will serve.
