The University Hospital of the West Indies is to benefit from a $4.9-billion upgrade of building and equipment.
The project, which is at the design stage, will include construction of a new six-storey, 120,000-square-foot medical facility, which will accommodate an additional 40 medical and surgical beds, improvements to outpatient or ambulatory surgery, lecture rooms and conference rooms.
Upgrading work will also be done on the cardiology hybrid interventional surgery room and the neonatal intensive care and administrative departments.
