#JamaicaGleaner #SpanishTown #SpanishTownHospital #StCatherine #DrChristopherTufton AUGUST 5, 2022: The Government is now seeking contractors to undertake a massive overhaul at the Spanish Town Hospital amid rising demand for services and a boom in road and housing construction projects across St Catherine. Health and Wellness Minister Dr Christopher Tufton said on Thursday, that an invitation to tender has been launched with the aim of starting construction by the first quarter of 2023 and continue for two years. Opened in 1952 with 200 beds, the overburdened Spanish Town Hospital is now housing 30 in-patients. The renovation will see a new six-storey modern facility being constructed and linked to the original building with a skywalk.
