The World Bank approved a $ 51 million credit to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines to modernize hospital services and build a more resilient and sustainable health infrastructure and system, including the construction of a new acute care hospital and health sector reform. The project will benefit over 110,900 residents and about 350,000 tourists that visit the island each year. The project will support the country in strengthening the health sector to respond effectively to disease outbreaks, climate change, and natural disaster effects and help reduce the increasing burden of chronic diseases. Through this project, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines will reinforce the health system’s adaptive capacity to create a safe, resilient, and transparent environment for sustained health service delivery and improved hospital performance.
