His verbal attack on the President of the Saint Lucia Medical and Dental Association (SLMDA) for merely addressing critical concerns at the Owen King EU (OKEU) Hospital is both alarming and unacceptable. The President of the SLMDA,…
The ongoing neglect and apparent victimization of the people in Micoud South and Choiseul/Saltibus by the SLP government is deeply concerning. Despite the fact that these communities exercised their democratic right by voting for the UWP, they have faced punitive measures that starkly contrast with the principles of fair governance. The newly built Blanchard Community Center in Micoud South and…
