The government of Antigua and Barbuda has approved the purchase of a dedicated ambulance to serve communities in the eastern corridor, including St. Philip’s North, Prime Minister Gaston Browne announced Saturday.
Speaking on the Browne and Browne Show on Pointe FM, Browne said he has authorized Health Minister Sir Molwyn Joseph to move forward with acquiring the emergency vehicle to be stationed in the constituency.
“He has asked me for a budgetary amount to acquire an ambulance specifically for that area to be stationed there for the eastern corridor,” Browne said. “So I’ve authorized it, and he’s now getting quotations so we can purchase the ambulance for St. Philip’s North.”
The announcement came as the prime minister outlined a series of infrastructure and public service upgrades planned for the constituency, including a temporary police station, a proposed permanent police and fire station, and the establishment of a pharmacy.
The addition of a dedicated ambulance is expected to improve emergency response times for residents in St. Philip’s North and surrounding eastern communities, which have long relied on centrally dispatched services.
Browne said the initiative forms part of the government’s broader efforts to strengthen healthcare access and emergency services across Antigua and Barbuda.

Oh gosh! St Phillips north is going to get heaven come down now after fifty years, the present clinic that was built stayed closed and under utilized space, lack of nursing staff and now all of a sudden ambulance would be up here. I guess it will park on the compound abandoned.
Gaston are we not dunce as are we fore parents who are could a fool off
Gaston Browne and this ABLP Administration is really so awful. After all these years only now they come up with this because a by-election is days away, there is a saying desperate times call for desperate measures. Mr. PM you are so desperate I feel for you. We will still be rejecting you and Baltimore. Gaston you care nothing about people it’s all about keeping yourself in power. Constituents ride clear of Diablo (the devil)
@ Concerned Voter
I completely agree with you that Gaston and the Cabal is desperate about the by-election but also about the next General election.
In St. Mary’s South I am told the Windbag Dwayne George team is working the phone daily to encourage people to bote for him.
I also understand the response has been underwhelming so it’s not looking too good for him again.
Seems as though the JUDAS effect is a PERMANENT CURSE
