- Construct a new mortuary, Baie St. Anne Hospital
- Renovate the medical clinic, Anse La Blague
The Baie St. Anne Hospital Mortuary and Anse La Blague Clinic will be built by a team of U.S. Navy Seabees of Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 5 (NMCB 5). Seabees known as the U.S. Navy’s “Goodwill Ambassadors” have built and fought for freedom over the last 50 years. The Seabees have repeatedly demonstrated their skills as builders working around the world building and improving roads, orphanages and public utilities.
The Seabees will renovate and modernize the Anse La Blague Clinic. This work should take approximately one month to complete. The clinic should once again be operational in November 2006. The existing mortuary will be demolished and a new, larger and more efficient facility built in its place. This work will start once a temporary mortuary has been established at the hospital and will take 2-3 months to completion.
Note: Did the government not give the impression just after the election that IT was building the mortuary on Praslin?
