A System in Crisis
Basic supplies are unavailable. Professionals are leaving. And the NDC is gambling hundreds of millions on Project Polaris — a project that has changed direction multiple times with no feasible delivery date.
Grenadians cannot get basic care. That ends with NNP.

The Problem
What Went Wrong Under the NDC
Under NDC governance, Grenada's healthcare infrastructure has deteriorated. Patients at the General Hospital and health centres across the country regularly face shortages of essential medicines, surgical supplies, and diagnostic equipment. Routine procedures are delayed or cancelled. Patients are told to source their own supplies.
At the same time, healthcare professionals — doctors, nurses, specialists — are leaving Grenada for better-resourced systems abroad. The NDC has failed to provide competitive compensation, adequate working conditions, or a clear plan to retain the skilled workers our health system depends on.
Instead of addressing these urgent, everyday needs, the NDC has poured resources into Project Polaris — a hospital project that has changed scope, location, and design multiple times. Hundreds of millions of dollars committed, yet there is no feasible delivery date and no guarantee it will meet the needs of Grenadians.
Project Polaris
Hundreds of Millions, No Results
Project Polaris was supposed to be the NDC's answer to Grenada's healthcare needs. Instead, it has become a symbol of mismanagement:
Constant Changes
The project has been redesigned and repositioned multiple times, with shifting scope and unclear priorities.
No Delivery Date
Despite years of announcements and hundreds of millions in commitments, there is no credible timeline for completion.
Resources Diverted
While Polaris consumes the budget, everyday healthcare crumbles — clinics lack supplies and wards lack staff.
Accountability Questions
Grenadians have a right to know where the money has gone and when — if ever — they will see results.
The NNP's Record
What the NNP Built
When the NNP was in government, healthcare investment focused on practical, measurable improvements that directly benefitted patients:
General Hospital Upgrades
Critical infrastructure improvements to the General Hospital, including modernised wards, new equipment, and expanded capacity.
District Health Centres
Renovation and expansion of health centres across parishes, bringing primary care closer to communities.
Healthcare Workforce
Investment in training and retaining healthcare professionals through competitive packages and scholarship programmes.
Mental Health Services
Expanded mental health support and community-based care programmes to address a long-neglected area of public health.
The NNP Vision
Healthcare That Puts People First
The NNP believes that every Grenadian deserves access to quality healthcare — not in some distant future, but now. That means stocking hospitals with essential supplies, retaining skilled professionals, and investing in primary care infrastructure that serves every parish.
It means accountability for every dollar spent and transparency about every project undertaken. Grenadians should not have to choose between buying medication or buying food. Healthcare is a right, not a privilege.
Fully Stocked Pharmacies
Ensuring essential medicines and supplies are always available at public health facilities.
Retain Our Professionals
Competitive compensation and modern working conditions to stop the brain drain in healthcare.
Accessible Primary Care
Well-maintained health centres in every community so no one has to travel far for basic care.
Transparent Spending
Full public accountability for healthcare budgets and infrastructure projects.
"Our people deserve better, and I will continue to stand with them, advocating for their interests."
— Hon. Emmalin Pierre, NNP Political Leader
