BLACK RIVER, St Elizabeth — A coordinated response from the Seventh-day Adventist community and its partners has delivered approximately US$60,000 in medical supplies and equipment to Black River Hospital, as the institution continues its recovery post-Hurricane Melissa.
The handover, led by Andrews Memorial Hospital Limited last week Monday, included a range of health supplies and 50 Hewlett-Packard laptops, highlighting what church leaders described as an ongoing commitment to recovery rather than a one-time donation.
Andrews Memorial Hospital Limited President and Chief Executive Officer Donmayne Gyles said the support reflects promises made during an earlier post-hurricane visit and the willingness of partner organisations to respond.
“We are truly delighted to support Black River Hospital with these gifts,” Gyles said. “When we visited previously, we made it clear that our support would not end there, and today we are here to reaffirm that commitment. This is not the last.”
