The Ministry of Health has allocated $48 million for ventilators at the Victoria Jubilee Hospital in Kingston.
Health Minister Dr Christopher Tufton, who made the announcement at this week’s post-Cabinet press briefing, also shared that the Kingston Public Hospital will receive a new computed tomography (CT) machine in September as well as future plans to procure and maintain diagnostics machines for public hospitals through leasing.
