By S.Browne. Updated 1:15 p.m., Tuesday, February 12, 2026, Atlantic Standard Time (GMT-4).

Clinics in Union Island and Mayreau have received medical equipment donations from the Mustique Charitable Foundation (MCF) and the UK Friends of the Mustique Charitable Trust (UKFMCT) following the extensive damage caused by Hurricane Beryl in 2024.

The donations were handed over to the Ministry of Health, Wellness, Environmental Health and Energy on Tuesday, February 10th, 2026. They included dental equipment to restore services at the Ashton Community Clinic in Union Island, presented by Project Director Natalia Gill of the Mustique Charitable Foundation, and essential medical equipment for both the Celina Clouden Hospital and the Mayreau Community Clinic, donated by Administrative Director Avanell Da Silva and Administrative Assistant Jolice George of the UKFMCT.

“This equipment will significantly strengthen the clinics’ ability to deliver oral health and general medical services to residents across Union Island and the surrounding islands; communities that have faced disruptions in access to care since the disaster,” the Ministry of Health stated.

The Ministry highlighted that these donations mark the final phase of a broader partnership project launched in 2025, valued at over EC$300,000. In December 2025, MCF and UKFMCT also funded critical renovations to the Ashton Community Clinic and the Doctors’ Quarters at Celina Clouden Hospital.

The Ministry expressed heartfelt thanks for the continued partnership and support. “These contributions and infrastructure upgrades will greatly improve the quality, accessibility, and resilience of healthcare services in the Southern Grenadines,” the Ministry said.
