Health Minister Dr. Christopher Tufton, who was speaking at the adoption ceremony says this move will be critical for the parish’s ongoing development. Dr. Christopher Tufton says as St. Thomas develops there will be greater demands placed on its healthcare facilities.
Yallahs Health Centre benefited from the adopt-a-clinic program by the D. Terrence Foster Foundation.
