The Ministry of Health Wellness and Elderly Affairs (MOHWEA) indicates that Saint Lucia’s health sector Radio Communication System (RCS) was installed and commissioned in 2020. The National Emergency Management Organisation (NEMO) provided technical support for the conventional Land Mobile Radio’s (LMR) procurement and installation. The design was deficient, the installed network did not deliver the intended services, and there were budgetary and other build-out challenges. Hence, the MoHWEA is utilizing funds under the HSSP to undertake an upgrade to the system.
The Parliament of Saint Lucia has finally passed the Insolvency Legislation, which has been in the making for the past 10 years. This legislation will modernize the credit sector in Saint Lucia and provide protection and benefits for both creditors and debtors.
