Minister Mahler says “UB is always an option and we should continue to look at that seriously”

In a recent statement, Anthony Mahler, the Minister of Tourism, commented on the location where the university hospital will be built. He acknowledged that the decision to move the hospital was based on technical recommendations from experts within the Ministry of Health.

Mahler stated, “From what was presented to us in cabinet, it was a technical decision by the technical experts within the ministry of health, and if they say that’s the most appropriate place for it to go, then we have to listen.”

Despite this, he also expressed support for Minister Fonseca’s view that the UB land should not be dismissed. Mahler added, “But I support minister Fonseca’s position as well that UB is always an option, and we should continue to look at that seriously.”
