UWP calls for audit of St Jude Hospital reconstruction

The opposition United Workers Party is asking for an audit of the reconstructed St Jude Hospital.A devastating fire destroyed St. Jude’s Hospital in Vieux Fort on September 9, 2009, resulting in three deaths.The hospital was later moved “temporarily” to the Vieux Fort sports stadium, where it still operates 17 years later.On November 16, 2025, the contractor handed over a new St. Jude’s building to the government. But the building is not fully operational as a hospital, even though there was a promise to finish moving from the stadium by July this year.
