MENTAL illness has become even more prevalent around the world owing to the social and psychological impact of the covid19 pandemic. The Digicel Foundation, in partnership with the Rotary Club of Port of Spain West and the Northwest Regional Health Authority (NWRHA) are making life a little easier for mental health patients.
The Epic project for the refurbishment of the Acute Illness Triage Ward at the St Ann’s Hospital was launched on December 14. The ward is the only admittance ward at the hospital and the team made creating a more welcoming environment there a priority, said a media release.
