Sugary Beverage Bill to Return to Parliament: Government Targets NCDs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The government of Antigua and Barbuda <\/a><\/strong>is set to reintroduce the Sugary Beverage Act for its second reading in Parliament, as part of its ongoing effort to reduce non-communicable diseases (NCDs) through legislation and public health programmes.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Speaking at the weekly post-Cabinet briefing, Director General in the Office of the Prime Minister, Maurice Merchant, confirmed that the legislation\u2014first introduced months ago\u2014is expected to be passed during the upcoming parliamentary session.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The bill seeks to impose measures that disincentivise the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages, including the possibility of new taxes. Officials say this is part of a broader public health strategy to tackle rising levels of diabetes, obesity, and dental decay, particularly among young people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cSugar is very addictive,\u201d Merchant said. \u201cOnce young people get a taste, they want it over and over again. And without good dental practices, this leads to long-term problems.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the legislative push, the Cabinet has approved a national dental programme targeting school-aged children. <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Starting in the new school year this September, the Ministry of Health will roll out fluoride rinses and dental sealant applications in all schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The initiative follows findings from a recent health fair, which revealed alarmingly high rates of cavities among children.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Officials also cited the high cost of dental care as a barrier for many families, noting that early prevention is both more effective and more affordable.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

\u201cThis is about protecting the only teeth they\u2019ll grow\u2014and making sure they last a lifetime,\u201d Merchant said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The proposed tax on sugary drinks would align Antigua and Barbuda<\/a> with similar measures already implemented in other Caribbean territories and is expected to be welcomed by public health advocates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No specific rate or tax structure has yet been disclosed, but the Ministry of Health is reportedly working on the final details in preparation for the bill\u2019s passage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
