St. Jude, Ten Years Later

Today, Monday, September 9, marks a decade since an early morning fire destroyed the St. Jude Hospital in Vieux Fort. Ten years, three government administrations, and many promises later, the redevelopment of the hospital remains incomplete.

The latest word by this government is that the hospital will be completed by 2020, with main contractor Overseas Engineering Construction Company (OECC) leading the charge.
