An expectant mother from Bequia has made history as the first person in the region and in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, to receive a Fetal Echocardiogram performed by pediatric cardiologists from World Pediatrics.

According to Lauren Mcintosh-Shallow, Executive Director of World Pediatrics, the procedure marks a significant milestone for both the organization and the Caribbean, as it is the first time such an advanced fetal cardiac assessment has been conducted in the region.

Before the ultrasound was performed, SVGTV News spoke with the excited mother, Ellen Hazell, who previously had another child undergo heart surgery by the same team of doctors. Hazell said she was eager to have her unborn baby undergo the heart ultrasound, given her past experience and the importance of early detection.

Hazell praised the pediatric cardiologists, noting that they saved her child’s life two years ago. she said her child is now living a healthy, normal life. The mother also volunteered her child to assist in the training of regional cardiologists learning to perform Echocardiograms.

SVGTV News also spoke with pediatric cardiologist Dr. Caroline lee, who explained the medical importance of conducting a fetal Echocardiogram, especially for mothers with a history of congenital heart issues in their children.

svgtv news has since learned that the fetal echo-cardiogram was successful, and the unborn baby is healthy with no signs of heart complications.

Four years ago, the government of St. Vincent and the Grenadines implemented its Covid-19 Vaccine Mandate for selected categories of frontline workers. The policy, introduced during the height of the pandemic, required employees in key public-sector roles to be vaccinated in order to remain on the job.

Many public servants refused to comply with the mandate, including more than 200 teachers, leading to terminations that triggered widespread public debate, protests, and several legal actions challenging the government’s decision.

President of the St. Vincent and the Grenadines Teachers’ Union (SVGTU), Oswald Robinson, reflected on the anniversary of the mandate on Wednesday November 19th, 2025. He noted that the period was, and continues to be, a struggle for affected teachers, many of whom have faced emotional, financial, and professional hardship since losing their jobs.

Adding to the ongoing legal battle, the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court last week granted leave for the dismissed public-sector workers to take their case to the Privy Council, the region’s highest appellate court. The decision has been welcomed by the SVGTU and other interested groups, who view it as an important step toward securing what they believe to be justice and reinstatement for the workers.

Minister of Agriculture Saboto Caesar says the issues and concerns of farmers and fishermen are addressed in the Unity Labour Party’s (ULP) recently launched manifesto.

On radio yesterday, Caesar noted that one of the major concerns raised by farmers is praedial larceny, which he said has been a persistent challenge for the agricultural sector. He added that one proposed solution is the monitoring of animals using tracking devices, which would help reduce theft and improve accountability.

Regarding the fishing sector, Caesar said the government wants to ensure that fishermen earn more income, with expectations of increased exports and higher local consumption once fishing centres across St. Vincent and the Grenadines become fully operational.

He also highlighted the establishment of the blue school, which aims to encourage young people to pursue opportunities in the fishing industry. According to Caesar, more than 400 individuals have already expressed interest in participating in the programme.

The New Democratic Party (nNDP) candidate for North Windward, Shevern John, told residents at a village meeting in Fancy on Monday night that “the time for the NDP is now.”�
John, referencing the bible during her address, said she believes the moment has come for the ndp to assume the reins of government.

She highlighted her involvement in community-building initiatives, particularly through sports, which she said have played a key role in uniting residents. According to John, these programmes have suffered from years of neglect under the ruling Unity Labour Party (ULP), especially in communities such as fancy, which she argued deserve greater investment.

John also spoke about what she described as long-standing infrastructural neglect in the fancy community, pointing to deteriorating public facilities, poor road conditions, and insufficient community development projects. She said residents have repeatedly raised concerns, yet little improvement has been made.

The NDP candidate further renewed her call for the installation of guard rails in areas considered high-risk throughout the constituency, including the stretch of road at Rock Gutter where a tragic accident occurred ten years ago, claiming the lives of several students. John emphasized that such safety measures are essential not only to honour the memory of those lost but also to protect current and future road users. She stressed that other parts of North Windward also require similar safety infrastructure to safeguard residents.

The Unity Labour Party (ULP) candidate for North Windward, Dr. Grace Walters, delivered a strong defense of the administration’s performance during a community meeting held in Sandy Bay, stressing that the constituency has benefited significantly from 25 years of consistent development.

Walters emphasized that a “recap is needed” to remind residents of the progress made, noting that the work of the ULP government has transformed north windward in ways that should not be forgotten.

Walters stated that continued discussion about this progress is necessary so that “those who don’t know or can’t see would be aware of what they are coming from.”

She further highlighted that while much has been achieved, “there is still much to be done,” explaining that the push for a next term is fueled by unfinished goals. Walters said these goals can only be realized through full collaboration across the constituency.

Among the targeted priorities she outlined were expanded housing initiatives and improved land-distribution programs, areas she believes are essential to advancing North Windward’s development. Walters encouraged residents to stay focused, remain united, and continue supporting the administration’s vision for long-term progress.

East Kingstown deserves leadership that understands the pain endured by its people, says incumbent New Democratic Party (NDP) candidate Dwight Fitzgerald Bramble, as he addressed supporters during a village meeting on Monday night.

Dramble emphasized that East Kingstown has suffered more than any other constituency because of crime and violence. He recalled the tragic murder of five individuals several years ago,an incident he described as one of the darkest moments in the community’s history.

According to bramble, young men in the area have been forced to live in fear due to what he believes is a lack of effective crime-prevention efforts and meaningful protection within the constituency. He stated that many youths feel unsafe even in their own neighbourhoods, and he called for urgent intervention to restore hope and security.

The NDP candidate also shared the personal impact of gun violence on his life, revealing that he, too, is a victim, having lost his son in a shooting. He said this tragedy has strengthened his resolve and solidified his commitment to fighting crime and preventing other families from experiencing similar heartbreak in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

Ian Douglas, a senior figure in the Dominica Labour Party (DLP) and a member of parliament in Dominica, has publicly thrown his support behind the Unity Labour Party (ULP) as the ULP campaigns for a sixth consecutive term.

Development projects that he claims were “forcefully started” by the Unity Labour Party (ULP) will be completed under a New Democratic Party (NDP) Administration, according to Conroy Huggins, the party’s Central Leeward Candidate.

Huggins who made the statement during a village meeting held at bamboo square emphasized that it was the strength and persistence of residents’ voices that pushed the government to suddenly take action on issues that he said had been neglected for years. He argued that with general elections approaching, the ULP now lacks the time to complete the works they are hastily trying to showcase.

Huggins also claimed that once the ULP became aware of his candidacy, roadwork in the area was immediately accelerated. He described his candidacy as “both a blessing and a curse,” noting that while residents are finally seeing progress, it highlights what he described as longstanding neglect that should never have occurred.

Furthermore, Huggins stated that despite the government’s sudden push to address infrastructure that has deteriorated for years, voters should still remove them from office. He argued that the late response to the needs of Central Leeward is unacceptable and that the recent activity is driven solely by the upcoming election.

Huggins urged residents not to be influenced by last-minute efforts, insisting that only an NDP government will deliver the consistent development and respect that Central Leeward deserves.
