TOWARDS UNIVERSAL HEALTH COVERAGE – MBS TO TRANSITION TO NATIONAL HEALTH INSURANCE

The National Health Insurance programme is set to be implemented by January 2028.

The National Health Insurance Steering Committee has been reconstituted to provide oversight of the process toward implementing universal health coverage in Antigua and Barbuda.

Universal health coverage enables every citizen and resident, to obtain a defined package of essential health services, irrespective of socio-economic status.

The relaunch of the initiative was held at the John E. St Luce Finance and Conference Centre on Monday.
