Construction of the Marigot Hospital has begun
Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit confirms that site preparation work of the new Marigot Hospital has begun and funds from the Citizenship by Investment Program (CBI) will be used for the project.
“And so what we have done as a government, is to explore an alternative means of using our own resources to construct the Marigot Hospital and that’s what we’ve done,” the prime minister stated. “I want to say to the country that we now have in hand, completed set of designs, drawings for the Marigot Hospital and we will commence the construction of the Marigot Hospital this year.”
The government of Mexico has committed five million US dollars for the facility but the funds have not been made available.
“Utilising the Citizenship By Investment Program to help finance the hospital, our hope is that we could utilize the five million US dollars from the Mexican government once they agree because they have to agree to help equip the hospital and so there will be no question about this government’s commitment to the hospital,” he explained.
The Prime Minister said the Marigot Hospital project is a critical for the Marigot Health District and the government understands its importance.
When the PM makes a promise, it is excecuted over time.
