In a significant move to fortify the healthcare sector, the Government of Saint Lucia has allocated a substantial $11 million to the Millennium Heights Medical Complex (MHMC) and Owen King EU Hospital (OKEU). This financial injection, which was officially presented on August 23rd, 2024, aims to address pressing financial challenges and clear outstanding debts within these pivotal healthcare institutions. The funds, sourced from the Citizenship by Investment Programme (CIP) and the government treasury, are poised to ensure that the MHMC continues its mission of providing exceptional healthcare services to the people of Saint Lucia.
The Millennium Heights Medical Complex, which encompasses the Owen King EU Hospital, the National Mental Wellness Centre, and the Turning Point Rehabilitation Centre, has long been a cornerstone of healthcare delivery in Saint Lucia. However, recent years have seen the complex grappling with financial difficulties that have threatened its ability to maintain optimal service levels. The government's timely intervention is expected to alleviate these challenges and restore the complex’s capacity to deliver quality healthcare.
