AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Digital Health Upgrade: St. Kitts and Nevis has successfully deployed the National Digital Health Information System (NDHIS) at Joseph N. France (JNF) General Hospital, with officials saying it’s more than replacing paper records and is meant to support a more integrated, patient-centred system. Hospital Care Improvements: Prime Minister Dr. Terrance Drew reopened the refurbished Private Ward at JNF General Hospital after more than EC$400,000 in upgrades, including 15 private rooms, improved bathrooms, air-conditioning, and a new buzzer system to speed nurse-to-patient communication. 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. Local Food Resilience: Coconut seedlings were distributed to farmers across St. Kitts, alongside training on propagation, agronomy, and pest and disease management to boost local production. Child Well-Being Policy: OECS launched a Regional Child Policy and Strategic Plan 2026–2032 with UNICEF support, using a whole-of-the-child approach focused on protecting and empowering children across the region. Medicinal Cannabis Pathway: The Medicinal Cannabis Authority opened registration for a Traditional Cultivator Programme orientation (Aug 20–22) to help residents transition from informal cultivation into the regulated medicinal cannabis sector.
