Sagicor Foundation wishes to add clarity to the discourse relating to the University Hospital of the West Indies (UHWI) and the proceeds of the 2023 SIGMA Corporate Run.
In 2023, the event raised J$91,852,500 to support two causes: Edna Manley College of the Visual and Performing Arts and the UHWI’s Paediatric Unit.
“Sagicor Foundation can confirm that in 2024, US$495,000 (approximately J$79,200,000) was paid to an authorised Philips distributor, to acquire a CT Scan Machine for UHWI,” Sagicor said in a release.
“The foundation has been advised by the supplier that the machine was shipped in early December 2025 and is slated to arrive in Jamaica in February 2026.
“Sagicor, and by extension, Sagicor Foundation Jamaica, is always transparent about the use of the funds raised and the full proceeds are shared amongst beneficiaries, in line with the Foundation’s governance framework,” the release added.
