The Antigua and Barbuda Medical Benefits Scheme (MBS) has wrapped up its second on-campus educational engagement of 2026 at the Antigua and Barbuda College of Advanced Studies (ABCAS), targeting students enrolled in the BUS245: Building and Sustaining a Successful Business course. Designed as a highly interactive, hands-on learning experience, the session was curated to demystify core social security and healthcare coverage obligations for the cohort of soon-to-be business owners, self-employed professionals, and entering members of the national workforce. Attendees walked through structured modules covering step-by-step MBS registration protocols, mandatory contribution frameworks, non-negotiable compliance requirements for registered employers, and the proper completion protocols for the standard MBS R3A contribution filing form. Rather than relying on passive lecture-style instruction, MBS facilitators guided students through open peer discussions, live Q&A segments, and scenario-based practical exercises that let participants test their newly acquired knowledge against real-world situations they are likely to face as they launch and scale their professional business careers. This targeted outreach initiative forms a key pillar of MBS’s long-term public awareness strategy, focused on equipping the next generation of Antigua and Barbuda’s business workforce with actionable, accurate information to fulfill their legal and social responsibilities to support the national public healthcare system. Short highlight clips capturing key moments from the interactive session are now available for viewing on MBS’s official public channels.
