Staff of the Tobago Regional Health Authority’s Dialysis Unit at the Scarborough Health Centre were all smiles earlier today as Calypso Rose (Linda McCartha Monica Sandy-Lewis) made an undisclosed financial donation to the Unit. She handed over the donation to Dr. Faith B.Yisrael, Secretary of Health, Wellness and Social Protection.

In her usual jubilant nature, Calypso Rose explained why she made the donation. She said “When I knew that I was coming to Tobago, as a kidney patient, I say I have to make a donation to my Island Tobago. I heard that in Tobago they also have a kidney foundation so now I am donating this beautiful piece of white paper [cheque].”

In response, Dr B.Yisrael expressed thanks to Calypso Rose. She said “I thank you so much for this and, of course, the doctors and nurses here will continue to take good care of you while you are on this Island.”

Following the handover, Calypso Rose received dialysis treatment at the Unit.
