The Ministry of Health, Wellness, and Religious Affairs welcomes its most recent collaboration with Grenada Electricity Services Ltd. (Grenlec), which has provided a grant for the purchase of furniture and appliance to improve the quality of life of residents, and the level of care delivered by the staff at the Mt. Gay Psychiatric Hospital.
Having declared 2023 the year of βMental Health and Wellnessβ, the Ministry continues to increase its focus on improving the delivery of holistic health services to all citizens.
Permanent Secretary with Responsibility for the Strategic and Operational Management of the General and Subsidiary Hospitals, Mt. Gay Psychiatric Hospital,
Richmond Home, and the Community Health Services, Mrs. Naomi Jeremiah, recognised the importance of the Ministryβs partnership with Grenlec and thanked them for their continued support.
Mrs. Jeremiah also confirmed that the recent grant facilitated the purchase of over $35,000 dollarsβ worth of furniture and equipment through the Companyβs Community Partnership Initiative (GCPI).
Mrs. Annmarie Duncan-Mason, acting Hospital Services Administrator at the Mt. Gay
Hospital, confirmed that the items are already in use and have enhanced the level of comfort and care of its clients.
Reiterating Grenlecβs ethos of service to community, Prudence Greenidge, Corporate
Communications Manager, praised the Ministryβs current focus on mental health and
wellness, and extended special thanks to healthcare workers for their service and sacrifice.
