The Department of External Affairs recently received a variety of medical items from the E-Club Caraibe Association of Martinique on behalf of the Ministry of Health & Wellness. The donation included wheelchairs, canes, tripods and walkers.
Deputy Permanent Secretary in the Department of External Affairs, Guillaume Simon, notes the expression of generosity is not the first from the island of Martnique nor its home-grown organization.
“The E-Club Caraibe has donated previously to the government of St. Lucia and specifically to the department of health. So we are extremely grateful to the E-Club Caraibe of Martnique and of course through our consulate in Martinique for those donations to the Ministry of Health to help in the fight against COVID-19”
