Said James, “Today I’m honored to announce a significant donation on behalf of both our organizations. A generous contribution of Beep hand sanitizers to the Ministry of Health, Wellness and Elderly Affairs of St. Lucia.

further inflation to an already high health care bill.
“As we aim to move towards the implementation of Universal Health Coverage where we aim to provide equitable access to affordable services; quality services to the nation, we recognize that the costs are going to climb even higher. So, donations like these from corporate citizens are what will help us along the journey. We really do want to register our appreciation to Peter and Company for supporting the health sector,” Inglis said.
