The new­ly ap­point­ed Ur­ban De­vel­op­ment Cor­po­ra­tion of Trinidad and To­ba­go (Ude­cott) chair­man has iden­ti­fied the Cou­va Chil­dren’s Hos­pi­tal as a pri­or­i­ty project for the new board.

At­tor­ney-at-law Shankar Bidaisee said Ude­cott is cur­rent­ly con­duct­ing a com­pre­hen­sive re­view of the hos­pi­tal to de­ter­mine the state of the equip­ment and “rec­on­cile against the ap­pro­pri­ate as­set reg­is­ter to de­ter­mine the ex­tent of the equip­ment and num­ber of beds re­moved from the hos­pi­tal.”
