Three years after a fire of unknown origin broke out in the original building of the St. Joseph Mercy Hospital, the administration is preparing to commission a new wing, in addition to a rehabilitated section and a materials management section of the health facility.
The fire, on the morning of May 10, 2010, completely destroyed the oldest wing of the hospital and eight decades of history.
Although there were no major injuries or loss of lives, and all patients were safely evacuated, several doctors’ offices, the emergency room, the Triage area and the outpatient area were reduced to charcoal.
According to Maintenance Manager, Ian Collins, the new sections of the hospital will be officially commissioned this afternoon.
He said that owing to the fire in 2010, the hospital lost significant facilities; hence the rehabilitated section along with the new wing was built to compensate for the losses suffered.
Collins disclosed that the new sections of the hospital comprise of doctors’ offices, a new Intensive Care Unit, an emergency room, an X-ray lab, two operating units, new birthing rooms, wards and a new maternity wing with special rooms.
Collins further mentioned that a tour of the new facilities is on the agenda for the opening event. The Prime Minister, Ministers of Government and other officials are expected to be among attendees.
