Dr. Drew extended a special invitation to President Lai to officially open the hospital upon its completion, which he graciously accepted.

The collaboration with Taiwan’s Overseas Engineering and Construction Company (OECC) on the hospital project was highlighted as a testament to the deep bonds of cooperation. Prime Minister Dr. Drew expressed gratitude for Taiwan’s continued support in healthcare, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. He reaffirmed St. Kitts and Nevis” support for Taiwan’s inclusion in international fora including the World Health Organisation (WHO).
