6. Establishment of a Bio-medical Training Lab
In an effort to provide support and maintenance services for the work of the Vision Centres, a Bio- Medical Training Lab will be sited in Antigua and Barbuda. It is anticipated that by the end of the Project, up to nine Bio-Medical Technicians from five countries will be trained: Antigua and Barbuda (1); Guyana (2); Haiti (2); Jamaica (3); and St. Lucia (1). The process for the ordering of equipment for the Lab was initiated during the period under review.
