Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre (SLBMC) has been awarded a grant of ยฃ25,000 (approximately XCD $90,700) from The Linbury Trust, a UK-based grant-making foundation.
The grant will primarily fund the acquisition of a portable ultrasound system, a critical piece of diagnostic equipment that allows medical teams to perform fast, high-resolution imaging directly at the patientโs bedside. The remaining funds from the grant will be utilized at the hospitalโs discretion to procure other high-priority medical equipment. โ

โThis grant from The Linbury Trust directly enhances our bedside diagnostic capabilities,โ said Dr. Belle-Jarvis. โThe acquisition of the portable ultrasound machine means our physicians can make faster, more accurate clinical decisions in critical moments, significantly improving patient outcomes. Having the flexibility to allocate the remaining funds to other high-priority equipment allows us to address our most immediate clinical needs efficiently.โ
