Grenada will strengthen its response to the Covid-19 pandemic with US$2.5 million from the World Bank.
The funds will be used to increase testing capacity, equip health facilities, strengthen isolation capacity, and bolster surveillance activities.
“We are working closely with Grenada on the Covid-19 response,” said Tahseen Sayed, World Bank Country Director for the Caribbean. “This financing will strengthen the capacity of the health system and support frontline health workers to face this pandemic.”
The financing will be used to purchase critical supplies, including personal protective equipment for healthcare workers, medical equipment, laboratory equipment and tests, and goods and services to enhance preparedness and surveillance systems at ports of entry. The funds will also be used for the retrofitting of isolation areas, including a mobile unit, and the procurement of an oxygen generation plant.
These funds were accessed under the Contingency Emergency Response Component (CERC) of the ongoing OECS Regional Health Project. CERCs allow funds to be reallocated to address emergency response needs.

Countries like Grenada and other Caribbean Islands is too small of such little population to be struggling amongst large countries of the west that controls the world economy.
Find a way to make them see that they nee to attend to our needs and stop forsaking and denying us the people who has got little but yet some of the greatest minds on earth who do not have an equal oppertunity to reach to the top yet we are humble in the struggle of working hard for the sake of every one in the world and not only our selves. The reason why we all humans of the world should be international citizens of every country on earth is because life itself is short and every one deserves a chanced to seek to find what they are searching for and the world should become small having food shelter health travel expense and clothing for every one , with so much technology it can be done and all hungry mouth should be fed and as humans having the least to worry about . After all don’t matter how much legacy one leave behind the love and world wide unity as one is the greatest step that all human beings can make in the eye sight of the true living God towards life extension and every thing that is hidden from civilization and leave us in a primitive state of mind that make some people feel they are better when the truth is that in the next thirty or fifty years from now humans can be super humans but not without the oneness of being one in the eye sight of our creator who will then see it fit when the earthlings as all his people are ready to be saved and reunite on their own or else die.
We are breaking down the barriers too slow and we must know that from generation on to generation that we are speared more time to continue to achieve this first step to recognize these facts . It is factual and not an intelligent gest that there is a Supreme Being in charge and that we are given the sense and a mind of our own to think and be different but not divided and laws were made with authority to keep us legitimately correct and focus to defeat all evil by having the ability with a system in place that will only make humans of the next generation programed to do only what is good and righteous by living without sin and knowing what is sin but having the power to overcome sin by freeing the world and the people from all barriers like povity, food shortage , immigration borders, not being able to achieve all positive desires and purpose of good life to achieve your gift and know your self by having the freedom to do and give and take or get all that that one needs on this earth.
It does not matter which God a nation of people believe in, trying to change spiritual beliefs is a waist of time that will only cause wars to fight . Every one must respect each other beliefs . You think that your God is my God and I think that my God is your god but the True Living Gog accept every one base on it is not humans fault for having so much different gods but it is your fault when you sin and our creator will correct us about his or her true identity only when all human overcome greed and hate and love one another and give ourselves a chance to accept all raced cred and class as one with the earth beneath our feet as an international citizen to go where you want and live where you want . This world belongs to every human and we can open the universe and travel trough space and time only when we reach this stage on earth with all people and all government and all the laws that needs to change such as the one of abomination and the restriction of people place and vanity things.
Critical supplies = single malt scotch and Cuban cigars for the government cronies.
