THE?proposed new General Hospital that is to replace the 47-year-old Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH),?will be built in Kingsland, Christ Church, and will be one of the largest capital projects in this country’s history.
Minister of Health Donville Inniss ended weeks of speculation yesterday when he made the announcement while delivering the feature address at the weekly lunchtime lecture of the Democratic Labour Party (DLP) at George Street, Belleville.
“It will be one of the biggest single undertakings by the state in contemporary times but I am satisfied it is needed for this country if we are to take health care to the next level,” he said.
Inniss said Cabinet made the decision after much consultation with the relevant stakeholders headed by Chief Town Planner, Mark Cummins, to build the hospital on a “green field site.”
