Residents of the Borough of Point Fortin and environs are the beneficiaries of the brand new, 100-bed Point Fortin Hospital located at the Corner of Techier and Point Fortin Main Road.
Prime Minister Dr the Hon Keith Rowley officially opened the facility today (Saturday 04 July 2020) which offers services in the areas of General Surgery, Burns, Psychiatry, Pediatric/Adolescence, High Dependency and Accident and Emergency.
Dr.Rowley says the completion of the hospital was the recognition of a dream for the people of Point Fortin who told him when he campaigned in 2015 that their Borough was neglected.
Dr Rowley said the people of Point Fortin also stand to benefit from ongoing work at the Mahaica Oval, the Point Fortin Fire Station and the Techier Community Centre.
Point Fortin Mayor, His Worship Kennedy Richards Jr said more than 60 percent of the persons employed during the construction of the hospital were from the Borough.
