Opposition Leader Jamale Pringle raised a pressing question concerning the reopening of the Cancer Center, which has been a subject of concern for many citizens seeking medical care.

Pringle asked Prime Minister Gaston Browne to provide a timeline for when the facility would be operational again.

Responding to the inquiry, Prime Minister Browne revealed that the government had successfully sold the Cancer Center for $13 million.

However, he pointed out that the transition had encountered a significant obstacle involving the previous owners of the center.

According to Browne, these former owners still possess equipment within the facility and are demanding an exorbitant amount of money for its use.

Prime Minister Browne described the situation as an impasse, noting that the demands made by the previous owners were viewed as extortionate.

He emphasized that this issue is currently being addressed by the new owners of the Cancer Center.

The resolution of this matter is crucial for the reopening of the facility.

“As soon as they are able to resolve that issue, they will take the necessary steps to reopen the Cancer Center,” stated Prime Minister Browne.

The closure of the Cancer Center has been a significant concern for many, as it is a critical facility for those battling cancer.

The situation remains under close watch, with both the government and the public keenly awaiting a resolution that will ensure the Cancer Center can once again serve the community.
