Health Update Bahamas

AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

COVID-19: Health Minister Michael Darville says a Grand Bahama cluster linked to a church retreat has been resolved. Twenty of 112 attendees tested positive; one person was hospitalized and discharged. The ministry urges good hygiene and staying home when sick, while in-person prison visits remain suspended as a precaution. Island Healthcare: Nurses say Mangrove Cay has gone more than a decade without a working ambulance, forcing one nurse to ride with a patient in a private jeep before an airlift to New Providence. Health officials say an ambulance has been earmarked for the island. Mental Health: The Ministry of Health and Wellness is working with the Bahamas Psychological Association and other partners on a national action plan, guided by the 2026–2030 mental health and suicide prevention strategy. Impetigo: Cases have fallen significantly, but officials remain on alert; seven new cases were recently reported.
