The San Fernando Teaching Hospital - This 18-Level facility formerly earmarked

for office and retail space, was retrofitted and converted into a state-of-the-art,

ultra-modern teaching hospital, as a crucially needed extension to the San

Fernando General Hospital. It was project managed by state-owned company,

the Urban Development Corporation of Trinidad and Tobago Limited

(UDeCOTT). The Hospital was built and retrofitted to 17 North American and

British Codes and Standards, meeting and exceeding all requirements for an

essential building, for continued operations after a seismic event.

Some of the modern medical features at the new San Fernando Teaching

Hospital include:

Medical Vinyl which traps and kills bacteria, mold etc hence these cannot

multiply/grow;

Ceiling Tiles which absorb dust particles;

Fixtures supported off the wall rather than being mounted from the

ground, which will facilitate easy cleaning and access beneath the

fixtures.

The San Fernando Teaching Hospital has a total useable space of 368,725 square

feet.

Construction of the Bed Lift/Elevator Tower and Bridge Link

To ensure seamless and safe patient care, joining the two hospital facilities with

proper access to all wards on the various levels, became a focal point of this

very precise, technical and labour intensive driven project. It is with this focus

that crucial construction of the Bridge Link, often called the Skywalk and the

Bed Lift Tower commenced. The net result is that patients will benefit from very

modern patient care and shared services across the two hospital facilities.
