Works on the six new promised hospitals across the country are forging ahead with preparations at the proposed Enmore location soon to be completed.

After construction,  the nearby polyclinic will be closed and all treatment moved to the new facility, Minister of Health Dr Frank Anthony said.

“We promised six new hospitals and what you see at Enmore are preparatory works being completed for that one. The Enmore hospital is one of the hospitals earmarked for Region Four and the polyclinic that is opposite will be closed when that one is completed and opened,” Anthony told Stabroek News yesterday as he gave an update on the project.
