Healthcare Delivered: Bold Overhaul of the Nation’s Health System
Basseterre, St. Kitts, April 16, 2025 (PMO) — In just two years, the Government of St. Kitts and Nevis under the leadership of Prime Minister Hon. Dr. Terrance Drew and the St. Kitts-Nevis Labour Party has delivered the most comprehensive and transformative health sector advancements in the modern history of the Federation.
From infrastructure upgrades to service expansion, the government has taken a whole-system approach. At the Joseph N. France General Hospital alone, major infrastructural work has been completed: the leaking roof has been fully repaired, new air-conditioning units have been installed across several wards, the hospital kitchen and private ward have been refurbished, and the JNF classroom—used for training medical personnel—has been completely renovated. For the first time in many years, new medical equipment has been procured, improving the ability of the hospital to deliver better diagnostics and treatment.
