The event was hosted in collaboration with United Hands Inc. and the Seventh-day Adventist Church, in partnership with the Ministry of Health.
According to the report, the Fair provided essential healthcare services to 1,139 individuals over the four-day period, including comprehensive dental assessments for more than 559 children.
The range of services offered—spanning dental, medical, and eye examinations—resulted in cost savings to the government estimated at approximately EC $2.5 million.
In light of the significant impact of the dental services provided, Cabinet approved the immediate procurement and outfitting of a mobile dental unit, specifically designed to provide teeth cleaning and preventative care for school-aged children between 5 and 14 years old.
This initiative is scheduled to be operational by the start of the new academic year.
The Government of Antigua and Barbuda once again extends its sincere appreciation to United Hands Inc., the Seventh-day Adventist Church, and all civil society partners involved in the Health Fair.
The administration reaffirms its ongoing commitment to expanding access to affordable, preventive, and community-based healthcare services across the nation.

Glad to see the government putting real money into preventive care. $2.5 million in savings is impressive
Sounds promising, but let’s hope it’s not just a photo-op project. We need consistent follow-through.
