Residents of St Andrew now have a newly-renovated and modernized outpatient clinic.
The facility, which was due for permanent closure, will allow residents to access community-based services in an enhanced atmosphere.
At today’s opening ceremony, Minister of Health and Wellness Lt Col Jeffrey Bostic said due to serious infrastructural issues that plagued the building in the past, his ministry made the decision to carry out a complete overhaul of the facility.
Bostic said: “This outpatient’s clinic is now moving into the digital age. We have outfitted this clinic with six computers. We have upgraded the telephone system. They have printers and everything in here so that we are now going to digitize the records and everything in relation to this outpatients’ clinic. You will be able to make appointments online because we now have the facility here to be able to do that and that would improve a lot of things for the clients who utilize the services.”
