The Eight-Storey Western Children and Adolescent Hospital in Montego Bay Jamaica
Correction: the children hospital will have 8 floors.
The Western Children and Adolescent Hospital in Montego Bay St. James
On October 23, 2019, Prime Minister Andrew Holness, broke ground for the construction of the Western Children and Adolescent Hospital in Montego Bay. The facility, which is a gift from the People’s Republic of China will be built on the grounds of the Cornwall Regional Hospital for US$43 million. Prime Minister Holness also acknowledged former Prime Minister, Portia Simpson-Miller, for the initial work done in lobbying with the Chinese for the hospital
The Western Children Adolescent Hospital will be the first of its kind in the English-speaking Caribbean. On completion, the eight-storey hospital will have a 220-bed capacity, in-house pharmacy, emergency room, dialysis room, plus administrative offices, a food court, and accommodation for employees.
The hospital is expected to complement the Bustamante Hospital for Children in Kingston by providing increased access to specialised paediatric and adolescent care. When completed, the state-of-the-art institution will treat children and adolescents up to 18 years old across western Jamaica. The hospital, however, is being financed primarily by the Government of the People’s Republic of China, which is providing external financial support. The Hospital was scheduled to be completed in 2021 but work ground to a halt because of the novel coronavirus pandemic in 2020. Workers on the project went back home, to China. The work on the project resumed back in 2022.

We need a Children's Hospital also in Madeville as it will be able to serve that region. It is too far in an emergency to travel all the way to Montego Bay and Kingston.
Yeeees Brown Boss. I always wanted to see this❤. Thanks for the upload. Western Jamaica 🇯🇲 needs this. Forward movement we say.
Good addition for that area and am sure most needed by the community.
Western children's hospital is a gift from the Chinese government. The people of western Jamaica should thank Portia Simpson Miller for choosing a children's hospital as a gift.😊
Most renovations at times can be unpredictable when it comes on to estimates etc. As a person in construction we started a dock repairs which includes underwater repairs and deck repairs upon starting project contractors realize their is much more structural repairs needed also above water deck repairs. Now the price will just balloons up
Hpefully when jamaica economy improves further all parishes should have type A hospitals with paediatic care. Kingston and Montego bay is too far in an emergency.
Great videos thank again bro
Good info. Thank you.
LOVELY LOVELY LOVELY WHO NUH LIKE DROP DEAD JAMAICA IS PROGRESSING THATS ALL I KNOW ....
The hospital is 8 storeys actually not 6 and the government of Jamaica is funding it as well more money was allocated in the last budget.
Its 8 or 6 floors building they are doing👷♂️
Having the building alone doesn’t make it good. It’s how efficiently it is managed, and having enough trained staff. They may need to get some Cuban personnel.
