In an advertisement in  yesterday’s Sunday Stabroek, the Ministry of Social Protection invited bids for the provision of kitchen equipment, medical equipment and furniture for the Palms.

The advertisement said that the government and the IsDB had signed a Technical Assistance Grant Agreement to boost the institutional capacity of the Palms.
