Government Expands Psychiatric Team as Mental Health Services Strengthen<\/strong><\/p>

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

Health Minister Sir Molwyn Joseph<\/a><\/strong> says Antigua and Barbuda now has the largest team of psychiatrists in its history as the government works to modernise mental health services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking at a recent press conference, Joseph said the country previously had only one psychiatrist at Clarevue Psychiatric Hospital, but now has three<\/strong>, with a fourth expected to join by December<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>

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

\u201cThis is the first time we\u2019ve ever had three psychiatrists in Antigua,\u201d he said, adding that a new recruit has already accepted an offer and will join the service soon.<\/p>

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

Joseph explained that the expansion of mental health staffing is part of a broader reform programme to improve both the physical facilities<\/a><\/strong> and professional capacity<\/strong> of the psychiatric system. The government, he said, is also consulting with the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO)<\/strong><\/a> to determine the appropriate mix of trained specialists needed for the population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Health Minister added that additional medical officers<\/a><\/strong> are being sought to support patient care, noting that physical health must remain a key part of treatment even for those receiving psychiatric care.<\/p>

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

The government is also moving forward with plans to relocate and rebuild the Clarevue Psychiatric Hospital<\/a><\/strong> on a new $13 million property, which will serve as a modern mental health campus designed to replace the outdated facility built nearly a century ago.<\/p>\n
