CABINET NOTES: The Cabinet held a discussion about the Cancer Center and its readiness to receive patients for radiation and chemo-therapy.
The Cabinet agreed that the machines which remain in the building are no longer useful but can be removed only under the supervision of experts from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)—a United Nations body that possesses the expertise to decommission the (radioactive) machines that are within the building.
The Cabinet authorized the Attorney General to move to acquire the machines if the owners do not claim them within a certain timeframe, and to present the Court with a valuation that can stand up to scrutiny. In the meantime, repair work is continuing on the roof and the interior of the building.
An engineering flaw which failed to take into account cascading columns of water when runoff pours down from the excavated hillside, is also being addressed.
An exact date for the refitting of the Center with new machines, staff and trained personnel could not be fixed at this time, although the Cabinet was informed that within 60 to 90 days, the repair work will be completed.

The upgrades are a positive step but it would be helpful to also focus on ensuring that the center has enough trained staff to handle the increased capabilities.
It’s reassuring to see the government prioritizing healthcare with plans to upgrade the National Cancer Center. Equipment and facility improvements are definitely needed for better patient care
Where is Government prioritizing Health Care? If you grew up in the countryside in Antigua like I did, you never put the cart before the horse. Let wait and see when cancer patients in Antigua & Barbuda will have access to that place in question. Let’s see how transparent Government will be about it’s ownership. Been down the healthcare road too long not to be curious.
