Antigua and Barbuda Government Planned Operation Of Cancer Centre by Early 2024

The reopening of the Cancer Centre continues to be delayed; its reopening to serve cancer patients in Antigua and Barbuda is hindered since the previous owner has caused intervention by the Court. 

At the moment, patients seeking radiation treatment must travel to Colombia in order to receive the necessary treatment; however, a person usually has to accompany the patient, hotel accommodation and ground transport are usually also required, making the expense even greater than if treatment were administered in Antigua.

The Cabinet is aware of the urgency and is seeking quickly to bring a solution to this outstanding health challenge.

  1. Nothing new here.
    You told us about challenges from previous ownership along with huge challenges getting equipment out and disposed of safely / in and calibrated correctly vis a vis radiation risks.
    You gave us an expectation that was clearly unrealistic and are now blaming legal challenges, but are these new legal challenges or the previous ones unresolved?
