The Linstead Hospital received a cheque valued at $1.2 million last Wednesday from Trade Winds Citrus Limited (TWCL).

The money will be used to purchase a mobile fast ultrasound unit for the Accident and Emergency Department at the hospital and a blood analyzer.

The funds were raised from the seventh staging of the Tru-Juice Cross Country 5K held June 2, 2019 in Bog Walk, St Catherine.
