St. Vincent’s Ministry of Health, along with support from regional counterparts, has erected a field hospital on Union Island.
Ninety percent of the houses on Union Island’s southern Grenadine island have suffered severe damage or destruction.
The API, in a short release, said the facility has a 40-bed capacity among other amenities.
Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves earlier this month said the government had the field hospital in stock.
A field hospital is a temporary hospital or mobile medical unit that takes care of casualties on-site before they can be safely transported to more permanent facilities.
