The Ministry of Works has announced that construction on the new Cobbs Cross Clinic is in its final stages, marking a major step towards improved healthcare services for the St. Paul’s community.

The facility, developed in partnership with the Ministry of Health, is expected to be commissioned shortly and opened to the public in the coming weeks. Officials say the clinic will deliver enhanced medical services and ease the burden on existing facilities in the area.

In a statement, the Ministry of Works thanked its staff and colleagues from the Ministry of Health for their efforts in bringing the project to completion. The Ministry added that the initiative forms part of a broader programme of healthcare upgrades being rolled out across Antigua and Barbuda.

Prime Minister Gaston Browne joined ministry representatives in welcoming the development, which is expected to provide residents with greater access to primary healthcare closer to home.

The Cobbs Cross Clinic will be formally commissioned by the Ministry of Health ahead of its opening.
