Biggest Ongoing and Completed Mega Projects in Barbados (2024)

[@suzannemcclean5651]

The number one project should be a new hospital.. with a central sanitized air system.. QEH is a eyesore.. I went there to visit a friend and I thought I was in a third world facility.. all these plans for new and improved should start with our health care.. now that we are in an established category our hospital should be too.. build a new hospital and use the current hospital as an outpatient and rehabilitation clinic.. test laboratories.. this current hospital has too many openings which all sorts of insects.. birds.. contaminated flies and viruses enter through.. I saw a bird eating a patients food.. which is a cause for all sorts of infections.. some of the beds are so rusty.. the floor tiles around the hospital are atrocious.. missing tiles replaced with odd looking tiles.. the staircases.. which some stairs are missing metal boarders at the front.. so I feel with all these millions to facilitate visitors.. we should take care of the most important facility to our own people.. stay blessed 🙏🏾🥰❤️

[@glennharewood3244]

Is this fake news? Yes, I agree that hospital, and health care must and should be the priority project for the island. All the projects named envisage human activity. Humans fall ill, and will need health facilities for serving, and treating their ailments. The fact that there is the repetitive mispronunciation of the island's name " BarBAdos" suggest that the video may be "artificial."

[@suzannemcclean5651]

Whether it is fake or not.. I’m still grateful to be able to voice an opinion on a matter which needs to be addressed 🥰

[@ervinblackman4162]

You are 100 percent correct.Right on!!!

[@devets4d]

yes, the wards are tired: but in the surg.theatres and where it counts, QEH has world class equipment up there on the top floor! Been there done that, but yes Ward C5 and others are very tired to the eyes of the visiting friend.

Major Project No.1 Should be QEH.

[@anngittens382]

Could you please tell us when these projects started who are constructing them and when are they supposed to be completed?

[@TdotSoul]

I haven't heard about that light rail system, but it would be a welcome addition.

[@yipmabaruya1148]

Good morning from Papua New Guinea

[@MitziBourne]

I certainly like the innovative ideas and the modernization of the island, with all the "major" projects that are being untaken, but the FIRST MAJOR PROJECT should be the rehabilitation of our HEALTH CARE SYSTEM. REVITALIZATION snd RENOVATION of the ONLY Government hospital on the island should be first and foremost of the utmost importance. Also, an additional hospital on the north of the island would help alleviate some of the issues at the QEH...which by the way need not only a face lift but a renaming. Barbados only "natural" resource is its people, please put their health care needs first and let the other projects follow.

[@judyegriffith2553]

When this is all about to begin in my lifetime.where is all that money coming from.

[@Ohnjay288]

Gee, with a light rail system and all that construction it’ll be truly a 15 minute city. Who’s paying?

[@SunSeaSurf]

Coming soon to a Barbados near you

[@joyhowe1209]

The biggest and most important project in Barbados should be a new Rhianna community Hospital.... That QEH as someone said should be outpatient clinic, rehabilitation. People shouldn't be waiting months for xrays, ct scan, MRIs while their health deteriorates. People with fractures and breaks in their skeletal system shouldn't have to wait 6mths to have surgery... never know if they'll be able to walk again.....An over hall of the health care system is a million percent the most important . We know the rich fly out to USA, Canada for care while the poor waste away.

Well damn where wunnuh get all da money from? If it's true wow nice

[@notsosuavemate]

Honestly I’ve been thinking about a railway system it makes a lot of sense instead of having a car trying to find places to park. Other nations are ahead and some how we don’t have a railway system!? Well Barbados had a railway system back then but destroyed because of housing roads etc instead of keeping things efficient

[@RawleAgard-z5z]

Pie in the sky. Which Barbados you talking about?

[@alansjf33]

@@therealmrmaximus I do know for sure that the renovation of Grantley Adam’s Airport is happening and needed.

[@kingsqueensrecordsbarbados9746]

So you agree that it was better to sell, lease and transfer our Direct Revenue Generating Public Assets that worth BILLIONS to private interests (BPSA, BIBA and the foreign affiliates), and that Barbadians finance every thing moving forward from our pockets ? All of the Capital Works to be done (not these projects, they don't belong to Barbados), that the private enterprises shall not use their money towards, must be financed by our disposable incomes, rather than have Assets bring in that finance for us ?????

[@veldawilliams5335]

wow!! Didn't realize there were two islands called Barbados. Seems like I'm living in the wrong one.

[@PhannyObsession]

Light Rail (Tram) system wouldn’t work here. The road network isn’t good enough. They should look into an underground (Metro) system with stations in places like Bridgetown, Warrens, Skymall, Sheraton, Oval, Holetown etc.

[@brucecanmore3788]

What about the schools closing due to environmental deficiencies? How much is offshore capital? The airport is a P3 development.

[@kingsqueensrecordsbarbados9746]

And all Barbados gets is Rent, and 0.0000000 whatever, which is nothing. It is really not a P3 Development because the Port is leased out.

[@brucecanmore3788]

My point is that most of the capital is offshore. Return on investment is entitled to the investor. Meanwhile critical infrastructure under the stewardship of the republic is failing. The video should include some indication of funding source for the mega projects. The thumbnail implies Government (Barbados) credit. I am interested to learn the airport delivery model if it is not a P3 agreement.

[@clarenceadams4005]

See a lot of improvements, and nothing for the health of the people hospitals

[@bimtraveler]

This and all the videos on this channel are clickbait because for sure none of the above are currently happening in Barbados.

[@TdotSoul]

The airport expansion is happening, although the details in the video are questionable - the renovation of the National stadium has been on the agenda for a decade now, and same with an expanded port facility.

[@edwardwelch3317]

I would like to hear some good news about the restructuring of the general hospital i am living in America and I hear a lot of negative things about the healthcare please can we do a little better,what about a lotto system so as to get the money,just asking.a lot of elderly people would like to come back home but they worry about if they should become sick,. Peace and love.

[@davidprescod6331]

Watching this video I am wondering if it is Barbados that I know there is nothing in that video saying anything for the black Bagan or the poor people nothing about improving the hospital or anything that will help to reduce the long weating list

If you look at the graphic for the new airport, it reads Dominica International Airport. I call BS on half of this. We don't even have tarmac on most of our roads.

[@she219]

What BS lies these people does on....stop telling lies...

[@CEFBarbados]

This is either fake news or a video released way before its time. Get the pronunciation of the country right. Try pronouncing it as Bar-Bay-Dos. Overall, video looks like it came from the leaked Grand Theft Auto trailer.

[@imarchand5232]

Most likely Ai. And the pronunciation is also Ai I think.

[@GloryToGodAmen]

Seem like we have itching ears and a lot of wishful thinking. Will we continue to believe everything we hear without questioning? Shouldn't we consider a new/renewed QEH and healthcare system? What about agriculture and food security? Do we have a world-class educational system?...etc...

[@Annie-xs6xl]

So much lies and dreaming. Right now people staving hey. Food prices ridiculous, NIS got no money, hospital is no place to be in... have to sit in Emergency for about 24 hours before you can see a doctor. That is what need fixing before we can talk bout 500m railway. Where is the other 800m coming from. Stupse

[@man-in-motion]

Are they any white bajans? They are never seen at any Bajan festivities like the Independence Day Celebrations, Crop Over etc. They don't use public transportation or are ever seen associating with black bajans. I find Barbados to be the the most racist Island in the Caribbean and also one of the most racist countries in the World.

[@IvyMercedes1687]

Bajan people are not racist 😂 and white people do not experience racism barbados is a manly black country and only 2.7% of the bajan population is white how is it our fault they are only a small minority its a black country if you want to talk about the most racist caribbean island it's mexico they are literally kicking out black people that were born on that island for being to dark they don't they acknowledge that Hispanic black people even exist and constantly say they n even tho they are white and they even have a black face festival

[@devets4d]

And it goes both ways. What an education I had on the docks in St. Vincent, asking the locals their opinion of Bajans. Bajans are racist, lazy and bulling. I asked further if the racism was only the white ppl, and the response was NO the black ones just as bad - LOL!

[@lorainecodrington5721]

What planet are you from? Have you ever been to Barbados? Don't try to create an Aparteid in Barbados. Black and white in Barbados have NO problems with each other. We live in a Peaceful Loving country and you lot invade it trying to lower it's standards killing and mugging our tourist and making it look like Barbadian Crimes. Leave Barbados alone and clean up your own messy country. All Barbadians are one regardless of colour of skin which is unimportant to us. Colour or Religion is not a problem to us. We Are One.

[@sibyllehaertel9485]

Bitte gebt Euer wundervolles Barbados nicht in andere Hände, nicht nach China, USA oder Europa. Findet bitte einen eigenen Weg, bleibt unabhängig auch wenn es viel Zeit braucht. Seit Euch bewusst, dass Ihr im Paradies lebt, auch wenn das Paradies Fehler hat.❤

[@glendenecarter3800]

How you assume Barbados is racist just because the small population of white people doesn't attend any events going on, that does not make them racist, you can walk freely and go places without a racist incident, if they don't ride the bus, they drive their own car. Some black people don't attend either nor ride the bus, they drive. You do not know what racist mean. You don't see them attacking each other, nor using racial slurs. Example like the Karen's and the Ken's here in the US, they lived peaceful.
