This initiative is geared towards assisting in transforming primary healthcare which will indeed pull people back to the community healthcare facilities.\u201d Minister Telesford pointed out that there are 36 primary healthcare facilities around the state.<\/p><div id=\"antig-2141689865\" class=\"antig-content_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.courts.com\/antigua\/\" aria-label=\"500X500 (1)\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:500\/h:500\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:500\/h:500\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg 500w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:300\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:150\/h:150\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>The partnership between the Government and the AFYA Foundation became a reality because of the Grenada Diaspora Advisory Council (GDAC) established in September 2022. \u201cThis partnership is led by Grenadians in the Diaspora who have committed their medical expertise and time to help improve the healthcare system for the people are Grenada,\u201d said Shonda Cadore.<\/p>\n<p>Cadore and Abiola Jeremiah are founding members of GDAC. \u201cWe are the brainchild behind this organisation.
