The Government of Mexico has delivered two of the three promised projects to benefit St. Jude Hospital. In response to calls for support by the Government of St. Lucia to reconstruct the St. Jude Hospital following the fire which devastated sections of hospital in September 2009, the Government of Mexico offered to donate three hospital projects. Namely:
- The construction of a Morgue Building,
- Construction of the Security Monitoring and Ambulance Building and
- The supply and installation of the external area lighting of the hospital. The external lighting however is scheduled to be delivered when the hospital is in its final stage of construction.
Minister of Economic Development, Guy Joseph, stated that the projects were funded to the tune of US $2.7 million. During his address, Prime Minister, Allen Chastanet, thanked the Government and People of Mexico for their generosity to St. Lucia while providing the reassurance that the government is focused on delivering the St. Jude Hospital to the people of St. Lucia in the soonest possible time.
