Episode Details

The Bahamas just made history by becoming the first CARICOM nation to join the Alliance for Primary Health Care in the Americas, marking a major leap forward in healthcare access and quality. With 12 countries now onboard, The Bahamas is setting up a dedicated platform to coordinate primary care efforts, backed by a landmark MOU with key global partners including PAHO, the Inter-American Development Bank, and the World Bank. Health Minister Dr. Michael Darville emphasized that strong primary care is the foundation of a resilient health system — focusing on prevention, early intervention, and equitable access. This move builds on recent reforms like the National Health Strategy and facility upgrades, including the Freeport Health Campus, while also investing in digital tools such as telemedicine and electronic records to bridge gaps between islands and Nassau, ensuring no one is left behind.
