Chinese funding for new hospital will bring “enormous benefits” says Grenada prime minister

The Grenada government says it has been able to secure financial commitments  from China in establishing a new teaching hospital.  “We are ready to go, Sisters and Brother, the benefits are going to be enormous,” said Prime Minister Dr. Keith Mitchell.  A government statement said that former administration had floated the idea of the teaching hospital, but had only named the St. George’s University (SGU) as a partner without identifying any other backers of the health facility project.

But Mitchell said his administration, which came to power in February last year, had also been able to secure ion secured material support for the institution, promising it would be a “first class facility’’ that will “sell Grenada as a serious place of health tourism’”.  Mitchell is leading a delegation to North America and the statement gave no indication as to the amount of money the Chinese government is pumping into the teaching hospital.
