Digital Health Upgrade: St. Kitts and Nevis has successfully deployed the National Digital Health Information System (NDHIS) at Joseph N.

Workforce Strengthening: The Federation welcomed 47 trained nurses from Ghana under the Ghana Labour Exchange Programme, aiming to ease pressure on local staff, improve nurse-to-patient ratios, and strengthen care across hospitals and clinics. Health Workforce Planning Tools: A mission is underway to operationalise St. Kitts and Nevis’ Centralised Health Workforce Database and Dashboard of Indicators (CHWD+), built on DHIS2, to improve workforce planning and decision-making. Community Wellness & Prevention: The Joy Project and Girls Illuminated ran a financial literacy session for young girls as part of a broader health and wellness empowerment effort.
