The Ascension Island Government and Georgetown Hospital would like to thank all members of the community who attended yesterday’s virtual town hall meeting.
During the meeting, the Administrator and representatives from the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), Georgetown Hospital and the Ministry of Defence provided an update on the situation on Ascension Island and responded to questions and concerns raised by the community.
Georgetown Hospital can now confirm that regular medical services have resumed.
As previously advised, the risk to the wider community remains low, and there continues to be no evidence of transmission on Ascension Island.
Additional medical staff have now arrived on island to support continuity of healthcare services, and arrangements are in place to ensure that chronic medication needs continue to be met.
Anyone requiring medical assistance is asked to contact Georgetown Hospital by telephone on 66252 before attending in person where possible.
Any further questions relating to this matter can be directed to stephanie.sherrin@ascension.gov.ac.
