$53M Spent to Build Sav-La-Mar  Infirmary

The Sav-La-Mar Infirmary Male Ward, which was officially opened on Wednesday, April 26, and will accommodate 50 men at a time, is being hailed for the assistance it will provide for social cases.

Speaking at the opening ceremony of the much-anticipated ward, Prime Minister Andrew Holness says adequate services have not been provided for vulnerable groups over the years because of the economy’s state at the time.
