This has been a rumor for 2-3 years now.

Yes, and there is already this type of business in Grand Cayman. Which is doing alot of advertising. So maybe the delay is for the thinking of the competition. I just went to Colombia and had a root canal ( my favorite thing) for $80 and the dentist did the tooth reconstruction after for $35.

Lesley--are you talking about the new regular Dutch side hospital?? Daily Herald story

I thought when I first read this, that the story had perhaps got mixed up with the new regular hospital, which was just in the news. They were definitely making a parking lot there where LaBamba used to be, when we were down in June..

Is it just me or is that a VERY wide range between the three bids?

I thought so too. Not sure what the bidding process was, in terms of what they were asked to produce..

I don't think this is the medical tourism hospital though. The newspaper article is referring to a new general hospital to replace the existing one.

My source says it is a medical tourism building not a government hospital; also a parking lot and in the future- possibly a restaurant and or nightclub. The the land has been owned by " an old St Maarten family". which now finally developing the land.

There could well be a medical tourism building also, but I thought it was pretty coincidental, regarding the government hospital, which was just bid out.

Regarding the land on Kim Sha, again, there is a parking lot there now. Which doesn't necessarily preclude any other development there, but the parking lot is in place, as they were putting it in at the beginning of June.
