The St. Kitts and Nevis government approved a new plan aimed at addressing the major healthcare challenges facing the twin-island Federation.



The plan sets out strategies to achieve a healthier and more productive nation, and was developed through support from the Pan-American Health Organisation (PAHO).



The development of the country’s health system will focus on sustainable financing mechanisms, diagnostic capacity and continuous quality improvement.



The other areas of focus include increased attention to immunisation, men’s health, and the health of senior citizens.
