Minister of Health, Wellness and the Environment St. Clair Prince has expressed gratitude to Taiwan for the latest donation made to the St. Vincent and the Grenadines’ health sector.

The Health Minister noted that the donated medical equipment will distributed to health centers throughout St. Vincent and the Grenadines, saying that they will go a long way in benefitting patients across the nation.
The items include 120 wheelchairs for adults, 25 wheelchairs for children, 80 walkers and 40 commode chairs as well as 200 canes.
