Health ministry's operations back to normal next week

The Ministry of Health has vowed to resume full operations at its downtown Kingston Oceana Complex by next Monday, following a phased reoccupation of the head office.

The complex was closed for remedial work earlier this month.

Contractors had been called in to effect cleaning of air-conditioning ducts and the treatment of walls.

During the period, the operations of the ministry's head office had been taking place at locations across the Corporate Area.

Yesterday, the ministry said permits and licences would be done from the Oceana Complex, located at 2-4 King Street, as of tomorrow.

"As of Monday, January 6, 2014, under full resumption, all persons wishing to do business with the ministry may come to the Oceana Complex," the ministry said.
