A Tragic accident on Tuesday which left one young woman dead, has spurred Village Council Chairman Egbert Jeremy to call on government to build the much talked about Marigot Hospital immediately.
Jeremy believes if the Marigot Hospital was functional, the young lady may have survived, while the other individuals who were involved in that accident could have been properly stabilized. The Marigot Hospital was shut down in 2016 due to mold and fungus infestation and before that, it was shut down because of a severe termite infection. Jeremy is convinced that Marigot has been placed on the governments back burner. Health Minister Dr Kenneth Darroux said site clearing for the construction of the Marigot Hospital began in May 2017. The DLP Government had announced that the Government of Mexico committed US$5-million for the construction of the hospital. In March of 2018, Darroux said the government was awaiting the designs from the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS), to construct the hospital. Village Council Chairman Egbert Jeremy is deeply concerned about the seemingly endless delays in getting the Marigot hospital built, after many DLP government promises over the past several years
