Cooperation between ministries crucial to delivery of healthcare to elderly - Barbados Today

A formal relationship between the Ministry of Health and Wellness and the Ministry of People Empowerment and Elder Affairs should be established to ensure the effective delivery of health services to Barbados’ elderly population.That recommendation has been made by the lead consultant on the National Policy on Ageing for Barbados 2023-2028, Professor Dwayne Devonish who has recommended the establishment of “an inter-ministerial governance framework in the form of Integrated Elderly Care Committee or Task Force with a shared mandate for the enhanced delivery of both health care and community care services to older people in need”.Delivering the policy during a national consultation at the Lloyd Erskine Sandiford Centre recently, he said that body would work on capacity building and institutional strengthening initiatives at key institutions providing health care and medical services, with the goal of maintaining best practice standards for the healthcare system for older people.
