This project is fundamental to the advancement of our island’s health care service.
It remains projected to run for at least fourteen (14) months in three (3) phases.

• Phase 1: Enclosing of Project Site and Foundation Works
• Phase 2: Construction of a New 9000 square feet Building
• Phase 3: Reconfiguration & Renovation of present Accident & Emergency Department.

The Worksite will be fully compliant with all COVID-19 Directives as issued by the Government of Barbados, as employee safety is paramount.

As scheduled works continue, the public can expect further temporary changes to the entrance and exit of the QEH, temporary changes to the entrance of the Accident and Emergency and parking restrictions. Commitments remain in place to minimize any environmental issues that may arise during the scheduled works including the elevated noise levels, minor vibrations and dust.

On completion of this project, persons seeking emergency care in the newly renovated and expanded AED Facility will be provided with a safer, more comfortable, patient-friendly environment.
