GEORGE’S, GRENADA (11 March 2026) - The Government of Grenada will mark a major milestone in the transformation of the nation’s healthcare system with the Groundbreaking Ceremony for the New Hospital under Project Polaris, scheduled for Friday, 27 March 2026 at the project site in Calivigny, St. George.
