Residents of six local communities in St. Kitts have received a formal invitation to participate in an upcoming public consultation focused on the planned development of the Conaree Health Centre and the long-term trajectory of local public healthcare services. The consultation, which is open to all members of the general public, specifically targets residents from the nearby villages of Conaree, Half Moon Bay, Canada, Keys, Needsmust and Kitstoddart’s, who will be directly affected by the new healthcare facility.
Scheduled to kick off at 6:30 p.m. local time on Thursday, 6th August, the community gathering will be hosted at the Conaree Community Centre, a central and accessible venue for local residents. Top government and health officials are set to attend the event to answer questions, collect public feedback, and share detailed updates on the proposal. Among the key attendees are the Honourable Prime Minister of St. Kitts and Nevis, the national Minister of Health, and Dr. Terrance Drew, who serves as both the Parliamentary Representative for Constituency 8 and a lead stakeholder for the project.
This consultation marks a key step in the planning process for the new health centre, designed to expand access to primary care services for thousands of local residents. Local officials have emphasized that public input will play a critical role in shaping the facility’s design, service offerings, and timeline for development, encouraging all affected residents to attend and share their perspectives on local healthcare needs.
