CABINET NOTES: The Minister of Heath informed that four new pieces of legislation will have their first reading at the next sitting of Parliament.
They are: the Mental Health Bill; the Abandonment of the Elderly Bill; the Licensing of Nursing Home Bill; and, the Sugary Drinks Bill. They are all aimed at improving healthcare in the nation.
The Medical Benefit Scheme has agreed to set aside 1 Million United States Dollars to purchase vaccines in the event of a serious outbreak or a pandemic.
Both the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and the World Health Organization (WHO) have suffered a decrease in contributions since the United States has signaled its intent to withdraw from these regional and international organizations and to end the funding that it once provided. Antigua and Barbuda needs to be in a state of readiness.
