United Progressive Party (UPP) candidate Alex Browne has sharply criticised what he calls the "shameful" politicisation of the newly opened pharmacy at the Glanvilles Polyclinic, describing the facility as a long-overdue necessity for the community. According to Antigua Observer, Browne's remarks came in the wake of Tuesday's official opening of the new pharmacy.
Browne, who is contesting the St. Philip's North seat in the March 15 by-election, pushed back against the tone of official remarks made at the opening ceremony, asserting that the pharmacy's arrival should not be used as a political tool.
The UPP candidate used the occasion to declare his long-term advocacy for improved healthcare infrastructure in the constituency, positioning himself as a consistent champion of the community's needs ahead of the upcoming by-election.
The opening of the Glanvilles Polyclinic pharmacy marks a significant development for residents of St. Philip's North, an area that has long been without such a facility in close proximity. As reported by Antigua Observer, the event drew pointed political commentary from both sides ahead of the March 15 poll.
