Last update: 4 hours ago

Digital Health Access: Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre is making it easier to book outpatient clinic and radiology appointments online, 24/7, with staff confirming details after requests. Pediatric Care Demand: SLBMC reports 1,074 pediatric emergency visits so far in 2026, highlighting steady pressure on child-focused emergency services. Heat & Health Watch: The Medical Association says more patients are showing dehydration and heat-exposure symptoms as temperatures rise, urging extra caution for older adults and people with limited mobility. Eye Health Spotlight: Antigua and Barbuda’s eye-care advocacy is being recognized internationally, with Senior Diplomat Claxton Duberry presenting progress at the 2030 In Sight Live Conference in Kenya. Surgery Leadership: Dr. Vonetta George, Chief of Surgery at SLBMC, named a finalist for the 2026 Global Doctor, Innovation and Leadership Award. Public Health Infrastructure: Minister Rawdon Turner met Sustainable Markets Initiative representatives, flagging sewage treatment modernization in St. John’s as key to protecting public health. Aging Population: A regional piece warns the Caribbean is “growing older before growing rich,” with Antigua and Barbuda among the places facing shrinking workforces and busier hospitals. Safety & Emergencies: Police are investigating a shooting on Dickenson Bay Street that sent a man to SLBMC, and separately a U.S. tourist death after becoming unresponsive during a North Sound scuba dive; an autopsy is expected.
