Legal wrangling continues to delay opening of Cancer Center
The reopening of the Cancer Centre continues to be delayed, affecting cancer patients in Antigua and Barbuda.
This setback is due to legal intervention initiated by the previous owner. Currently, patients in need of radiation treatment must travel to Colombia to receive the necessary care.
However, this process often requires a companion for the patient, along with hotel accommodations and ground transportation, significantly increasing the overall cost compared to receiving treatment in Antigua.
The Cabinet recognizes the urgency of this situation and is actively seeking a swift resolution to this critical health challenge.
