More than 1,200 surgeries have been performed at the Couva Children’s Hospital since phased operations began in late 2025.

Health Minister Dr. Lackram Bodoe says the facility is helping to reduce surgical backlogs across the country’s Regional Health Authorities, while expanding access to specialised paediatric services.

The Couva Children’s Hospital is playing an integral role in the expansion of public healthcare in Trinidad and Tobago.
