Prime Minister Dr the Right Honourable Keith Mitchell continued his outreach to friendly countries during the past week, seeking assistance for Grenada’s continued fight against the Covid-19 pandemic.
The rising number of cases has created a strain on the healthcare system and has also resulted in nurses, doctors, and other healthcare workers, having to work extended shifts as they care for the increased number of hospitalised persons.
The island’s most pressing needs include additional medical personnel, a field hospital, personal protective equipment (PPE) and other medical supplies used in the care of Covid-19 patients.
The Prime Minister met with the Chinese Ambassador to Grenada His Excellency Wei Hongtian on Friday, to seek Covid-related support. He said, “The situation is serious, we need a team of doctors and nurses who can come to Grenada for a few weeks to provide much-needed support to our own professionals, who have been working long hours, attending to the growing number of patients. Given the infectious nature of this disease, we also need to ensure that we have additional supplies of PPE, as the medical team uses multiple sets of these on any given day.”
The Prime Minister also had a call with the United States Ambassador to Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean Linda Taglialatela last week. In that conversation, Dr Mitchell underscored the urgency of a field hospital which would be able to accommodate more Covid-19 patients and reduce the need to use wards designed for the general care of patients, some of which have had to be converted given the rise in hospitalisations.
Both the People’s Republic of China and the United States have given assurances that they would provide whatever assistance they can to help Grenada navigate the current crisis.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has also dispatched letters seeking assistance from a number of other friendly countries.

I agree with Keith Mitchell. Apparently not all Grenadians are so friendly enough to try to fund the projects we have for building schools, hospitals and roads but want from government.
Keith Mitchell passing the begging bowl yet again, asking for a handout for a CV19 field hospital this time.
So is that big St Georges Medical University just a glorified paperweight or…… a real Medical University that can quickly research and develop practical simple SarsCov2 solutions for developing countries like Grenada, just as Uttar Pradesh have successfully done to virtually stop CV19 deaths within a 240 million population?
How hard is it to do a joint project with Uttar Pradesh, Grenada and St Georges University for Endemic SarsCov2?
China’s foreign policy is very shrewd Neo-Imperialism.
How long before friendly China want some reciprocity such as a nice Caribbean Port for its Naval ambtions to start sailing off the US Caribbean coast?
Will friendly Keith Mitchell say yes or no to China and what would the friendly American response be?
China claim that SarsCov2 was developed by the US Military at Fort Detrick and released in China at the Military games in October 2019.
The US claim that SarsCov2 was developed by China at Wuhan and released and spread to the world in November 2019.
So who is telling the truth when both were and are actively involved in developing Bioweapons for decades?
The UK, EU, US and Canada have scores of active Bioweapons labs with far more dangerous Bioweapons than Wuhan developed RaTg13 SarsCov2.
All those evil Bioweapons Labs need to be destroyed and Keith Mitchell should be saying that loud and clear 24/7 to his friends far and wide, who had a hand in developing these Bioweapons.
The French and Canadians were working on Bat Virus with the Chinese. The US under Obama and Faucci funded and out sourced Bioweapons to China.
So all these countries including the British Eco Health Peter Dasick, had a role in these Bioweapons along with Big Pharma Mode-RNA who stand to benefit with billions from the mRNA Genetic drugs..
From all the evidence China knew about the Bioweapons being developed at Wuhan and were more interested in stealing the intellectual property than stopping it. Therefore China have a Legal Liability for the damage the SarsCov2 Virus developed in Wuhan, have caused worldwide.
Maybe its time to ask the friendly US and friendly China to pay up, for the damage. But of course it will never happen because diplomatic pragmatic cowards are afraid to stand up to anyone bigger than themselves.
The reality is that Grenada would be wise to have good relationship with other countries while not becoming dependent and losing its sovereignty. I am just very wary of those quick to jump into bed with China who right now is deliberately showing its nice face.
Something Japan, Tiawan, Vietnam and the Philippines who have seen Chinese other ugly face, are well aware of.
Ex Grenadian, thank you for your comment on the above post. How blessed you are to be a highly educated Ex Grenadian.
Praise God that you are not an ignorant Grenadian.
It appears that you took the vaccine and have educated yourself on all the science, you sound even wiser than those eminent medics and research scientists whose results claim that the vaccine is not a COVID19 cure and it does not prevent anyone from getting COVD19. Furthermore, thousands vaccinated wise ones who got COVID19 and die and those with long haul illnesses, blood cloths etc. (In fact their research shows that blood cloths do happen but they cannot tell who would be thus effected) in your mind eyes are not of the ignorant masses. Bless them.
See medical lectures Medcram.com or drbeen.com
There sre many more lectures by others to this effect.
How wise you are. Your indept research enlightened your knowledge of the overall wellness, lifestyle, natural immunity, health status,of the ignorants who did not take the vaccine. Thus the result of your survery correctly concluded that these are ignorant.
Please educate the ignorant Grenadians on the name of the medical journal in which you have published your research. I am sure that there is a wise one sharing house with them who could read and explain your publication to them. Thus they can all line up for the vaccine no matter what..
Bless your wisdom. Have a happy , stay safe day.
I must say kudos to Ex Grenadian, very good point indeed. It is a costly squandered opportunity for which a price we are not willing and/or able to pay is being extracted ( loss of human lives.)
Recently took the booster to have a fighting chance if and/or when further deadly mutations of the virus occur.
This is not the problem. The biggest challenge is convincing the ignorant, naive and misinformed to get vaccinated. Grenada was one of the few countries in the World to have vaccines available before community outbreak and it squandered the opportunity. These calls for help are too late. Sadly, Grenadians will now have to pay for that error in severe illnesses and deaths.
Since I am ignorant and misinformed for not receiving the injection and by inference I can tell you are well informed and educated, could you please tell me the long term effect of this injection. Please! And, why is Israel still having serious issues with the disease after having the majority of the population double jabbed, so much so they are pursuing a third and even fourth jab?
97% of deaths in Grenada are individuals who are not fully vaccinated. What more data do you need? Please talk to the doctors, the medical experts, the ones whom you trust in all your other times of illness. Why do their pleas for vaccination fall on deaf ears now?
Niave, ignorant and misinformed? Speak for yourself.
How much do the Wise like you really know about Adverse Reactions from the Experimental Spike Protein Genetic drug thats killed and injured hundreds of thousands after only nine month?
Suppressed Immunity, ADE, wait until you start to encounter wild Viruses.
Safe and Effective will be going on a lot of tombstone, while those fools who used their God given Natural Immune System and simple Medications will be saying….Rest in Peace.
Absolutely right. Self-recognize the ignorance first!
On the list of ask big countries for free supplies make sure to include caskets… there will be people who will refuse the vaccine no matter what happens.
You are correct about that. No amount of deaths can shake them. Over 5 million have died world wide in less than two years, millions more have been infected, the vaccines came along and deaths have plumetted significantly. Older folks died in large numbers, now few are dying as the vaccines have clearly changed the landscape. Let the chips stay where they fall, generally Grenadians chose their path, they therefore have to accept whatever consequences come with that choice. No one should be forced to do what he or she does not want to do however under the prevailing circumstances facts rule, entitled opinions do not count. On what facts have they based their resistance? What is their solution to the deaths, some have been quick to point out negatives about the vaccines, have they acknowledge the millions who have been saved by them? Look my opinion is that those who use conspiracy theories should seek alternative help if they are infected with this virus, they should not be allowed to have their cake and eat it. The vaccines have been available to them for a long time now and the information about them abound. What is occurring now is precisely what happens when we choose to ignore all the evidence and those who have spent their lives in this medical field. Intransigence ain’t bringing us no where, ‘ crapaud smoke we pipe”
