On August 8th, the Virgin Islands Daily News published a report on Pafford Medical Services and the Government of the Virgin Islands. The GVI owes Pafford $8 million, and in 2023, the territory owed $34 million.

A year later, the territory’s debt to Pafford has fallen to less than $10 million. Now, the company says it will no longer offer services to the U.S. Virgin Islands.
