FOR THE PORT-OF-SPAIN GENERAL HOSPITAL, SAN FERNANDO GENERAL HOSPITAL AND ERIC WILLIAMS MEDICAL SCIENCES COMPLEX
The Ministry of Health is seeking to upgrade three of Trinidad’s major hospitals over a 25-year period. The Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex (EWMSC), the Port of Spain General Hospital (PoSGH) and the San Fernando General Hospital (SFGH) are each earmarked for redevelopment, with the aim of creating modern, state-of-the-art facilities. The improvements involve the elimination of wards and the introduction of individual rooms to allow for “privacy and dignity”; an increase in the number of beds; spaces for outdoor therapy and increased parking capacity.
OTA Consulting was part of a consortium engaged to prepare the Master Plans led by B+H Architects from Canada. We were integral in the preparation of Schedule and Capital Costs for the Redevelopment of the three hospitals. The Consortium completed and submitted the Master Plans to the Ministry of Health in May 2015.
