Welcome to the official website of the Government of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.

The Management of the Hospital Services Programme of the Health, Wellness and the Environment wishes to address a disturbing incident involving a female client who had recently delivered her baby on arrival to the triage section of the Maternity A ward of the Milton Cato Memorial Hospital.

The mother, baby and daddy have been assessed and are stable and without any immediate signs of any adverse effects due to the mode of delivery. Further examinations will continue.

We are currently conducting investigations into the events surrounding this unfortunate and unusual incident with an aim to implementing corrective measures where necessary to ensure that there is no repeat of such an incident.
