The Milton Cato Memorial Hospital is the recipient of 200 sheets and 100 pillow cases compliments SVG’s High Commissioner in London, His Excellency Cenio Lewis, and President of the New London Association for Vincentians, Mr. Denzil Winsborough.
These resources were handed over to the Hospital on Thursday, 20th October by Minister of Foreign Affairs and Deputy Prime Minister, Sir Louis Straker.
Sir Louis Straker noted that he has been soliciting equipment and supplies for the Milton Cato Memorial Hospital from His Excellency Cenio Lewis. He noted that His Excellency made contact with the President of the New London Association for Vincentians, Mr. Denzil Winsborough, who was able to accumulate the 200 sheets and 100 pillow cases for the hospital.
“We are extremely grateful to his Excellency Cenio Lewis and to the President of the New London Association of Vincentians for making the sacrifice and being so considerate in knowing that these things are always needed at the hospital, and going out of their way to work so hard in order to have them for the comfort of the patients at the hospital”, Sir Louis said.
The Minister further noted that His Excellency assured him that this is not the end of assistance for the hospital, as the Redding Association of Vincentians has pledged to donate 200 sheets and 100 pillow cases to the hospital before year end.
In her remarks, Hospital Administrator, Sister Grace Walters, expressed gratitude to Sir Louis Straker for facilitating the donation of the much needed resources to the hospital. “When we see linens at the hospital, those of us who are in administration, it is like a child opening presents on Christmas morning, because we can never have too much linens,” Sister Walters said. She noted that, in a hospital, one patient may use up to five linens in a period of four hours, therefore linens are never too much to be donated to a hospital.
