The Ministry of Health & Wellness has signed a Memorandum of Understanding incorporating The Bahamas within the Alliance for Primary Health Care.

Under the agreement, The Bahamas becomes the 12th member of the Alliance and the first CARICOM country to join. The Alliance is a regional initiative supporting stronger primary health care systems through investment, innovation, and technical cooperation.

This step supports the Ministry's ongoing work, under the direction of Minister Hon. Dr. Michael Darville MP, Tall Pines, to strengthen primary health care across the country's islands.

The Ministry thanks its partners — the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO Caribbean), the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), and the World Bank — for their continued technical and financial support.

Through the Alliance, the Ministry will work with regional partners to coordinate investments and implement the National Health Strategic Plan to ensure equitable access to quality health care across all islands of The Bahamas.
