Calypso Rose has made a donation to the Dialysis Unit at the Scarborough Health Centre.

The undisclosed sum was handed over today to Health Secretary, Dr. Faith B.Yisrael.

Afterward, she received dialysis treatment at the Unit.

The music icon was in Tobago over the weekend, as she was one eight persons honoured by the Tobago House of Assembly.

Old Milford Road was renamed Calypso Rose Boulevard in her honour.

She explained the donation, saying “When I knew that I was coming to Tobago, as a kidney patient, I say I have to make a donation to my Island Tobago. I heard that in Tobago they also have a kidney foundation so now I am donating this beautiful piece of white paper [cheque].”
