Additionally, the Pan-American Health Organization (PAHO) has committed to sending a Virologist, “in short order”, to assist with training.
Meanwhile, a truck, fully retrofitted with all the needed medical apparatus, will augment the island’s current laboratory capacity.
Referring to Health Minister Lt Col Jeffrey Bostic, PM Mottley disclosed: “Mr Bostic has also been in deep discussions with the Chinese government with respect to the purchase of an additional mobile lab which will considerably boost our capacity beyond the number of machines and personnel that we have at the Best-dos Santos lab. That mobile lab if a combination of persons and robotics so therefore it is not as labour-intensive.”
