Health Update Bahamas

AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Older Persons’ Care: The government plans to deliver a National Older Persons Policy, including a dementia strategy, within 12 months of the Older Persons Bill becoming law. An estimated 1,920 to 2,000 Bahamians live with dementia; cases could reach 6,000 by 2050. Youth Mental Health: More than half of patients treated by Sandilands’ child and adolescent services meet criteria for a substance use disorder, officials say, with cannabis and alcohol among the substances involved. A new training programme aims to strengthen support. Hospital Conditions: Rand Memorial patients report sweltering wards as air-conditioning failures persist. Health Minister Michael Darville says technicians are repairing and replacing units, citing ageing infrastructure. Cancer Screening: Foreign Affairs hosted a breast cancer awareness expo and screening in Nassau on Oct. 29, promoting community wellness and raising funds for the Cancer Society of The Bahamas.
