Environmental concerns causes relocation of Romalia Smith Clinic
The Romalia Smith Clinic on Anegada has been temporarily relocated due to environmental concerns, the BVI Health Services Authority (BVIHSA) has announced.
While the BVIHSA did not disclose specific details regarding the concerns, it confirmed that clinic operations have been moved to an apartment building on the island.
“The Romalia Smith Clinic has been temporarily relocated to Smith’s Apartment due to environmental concerns that require further assessment,” the BVIHSA stated.
No timeline was provided for the assessment, but the BVIHSA assured that further updates would be given once the review is completed.
During this period, the clinic will operate on an emergency-only basis.
“Emergency medical services will remain available. The healthcare team will operate from Smith’s Apartment—a temporary location—to continue providing essential care,” the BVIHSA stated.
Residents in Anegada needing medical assistance are advised to contact the BVIHSA at (284) 440-1646 for emergencies.
This is not the first time the Romalia Smith Clinic has been closed due to building concerns. In 2023, operations were similarly affected due to infrastructure issues.
“We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate the public’s patience as we work swiftly to resolve the issue,” the BVIHSA has stated.

That Clinic hasn’t even been open for 6 months since you reopened it for the same concerns! What have you been doing with all this money? Then you refusing to say what the issue is to avoid the embarrassment of admitting it’s the same issue and BVIHSA wasted funds!
Madness in this place
“Smith’s Apartment” is an apartment owned by the * nurse at the Romalia Smith Clinic. She is being paid rental for the use of the apartment, as she was in 2023. Could this be the reason that “environmental concerns” keep cropping up at the clinic?
This is so true… I also believe that this is the reason.
If the nurse is like you imply, cant imagine what her beside manner is like!
its makes you want to stay healthy and never return
Some say it is pure madness, while others beg to differ. In unknown, but probably true, saith some, it is how politicians redirect and stream the public’s money into their pockets. Same shy++ there, just another day at withdrawl from the peoples account.
This aministration went in, the whole bunch of them, led by the now infamous former leader of the party, to enrich and make themselves millionaires.
Their leader was stopped, but the mission of the other has not changed.
What is most troubling is the same voters will again vote for incompetence, for purse snatchers, for corrupters and embezzlers.
