One of the country’s national heroes will again be cemented into history today when the public hospital is renamed in his honour.
Mount St John’s Medical Centre (MSJMC) will officially be renamed the Sir Lester Bird Mount St John’s Medical Centre.
Government first declared its intentions to name the hospital after the former athlete and prime minister in 2018.
It reiterated that again in January this year during Governor General Sir Rodney Williams’ delivery of the Throne Speech.
Since the announcement, there has been a lot of public discussion as residents queried why the hospital would be named after a politician instead of a medical practitioner, like the late Sir Prince Ramsey.
