Building Expansion St. Maarten Medical Center

Expansion SMMC

At SMMC, we are fully aware that the needs of society are changing. In 1991, SMMC was built to serve a small population of 24,000. More than twenty years later, the population has more than doubled to approximately 54,000. The present hospital building is too small for the current and growing population and visiting tourists.

SMMC management formulated a strategic plan to upgrade, renovate and expand the hospital services based on the outcome of various healthcare and other social studies that determined ”how healthy Sint Maarten is” and what the care provision should be.

 It was determined that the SMMC required a 5 phased expansion approach to improve around the clock 24/7 critical and acute care for its population as required by the law. The proposed expansion will include 25 extra beds (increase of 3 to 6 intensive care unit and 22 medium care unit) and will increase the total bed count from 76 to 101 inpatient beds. The hospital’s physical infrastructure will be increased with 2,230 m²  to 8,939 m².
