Residents and friends of Virgin Gorda, Good Afternoon:

In earlier days it was the most recent doctor to join the health service who was sent to hold clinics in the sister Islands

In 1969, as a young man returning home to start my career as a medical officer, taking care of patients in Virgin Gorda was among my first duties

During those visits I often thought about what it would be like if Virgin Gorda had its own medical facility that could offer a good range of services and extended hours to its people.

The Ministry of Health and Social Development has committed to walk 12 million steps, which is the equivalent of walking from the Virgin Islands to Cairo Egypt.

The Government of the Virgin Islands has taken swift action to safeguard consumers in light of the recent recall of Kraft Mac and Cheese.

The Ministry of Health and Social Development is informing residents of Virgin Gorda that registration for the Fitness Movement Challenge commences tomorrow March 20. 

The Virgin Islands community has confirmed that health and fitness is a high priority by their overwhelming response to the Ministry of Health’s Fitness Movement Challenge.

The Ministry of Health and Social Development continues to encourage pharmacovigilance within the Territory and is urging the community to become educated about how medicines interact with food, drink medical conditions and lifestyle. 

The Ground Breaking and Contracting Signing Ceremony for the Nurse Iris O’Neal Medical Centre on Virgin Gorda, will take place on Monday March 30.

The Ministry of Health and Social Development is inviting the public to the launch its fitness movement challenge with an inaugural walk on March 16.
