Smaller Chinese workforce triggers delay concerns for Western Children and Adolescent Hospital

MONTEGO BAY, St James — Dr Christopher Tufton, Jamaica’s Health and Wellness Minister, has expressed growing concerns regarding the downsizing of the Chinese workforce involved in the construction of the Western Children and Adolescent Hospital (WCAH) in St James. The reduction in labor has raised questions about the project’s timely completion, particularly after Chinese workers withdrew their services last month due to unresolved payment issues.
