Antigua and Barbuda’s Health Minister, Sir Molwyn Joseph, passionately addressed the urgent need for increased investment in innovative programs to combat the escalating spread of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs).
Speaking during a high-level United Nations meeting on Universal Health Coverage, held alongside the 78th UN General Assembly session in New York, Sir Molwyn reiterated his commitment to countering the NCD crisis, which places a substantial burden on the nation’s healthcare system and has claimed lives.
He emphasized the significant challenges faced by small states like Antigua and Barbuda during the COVID-19 pandemic, which exposed and exacerbated the vulnerabilities of NCD-affected individuals to the virus.
The Minister stressed the importance of financing a modern healthcare system and launching new initiatives to prevent the high incidence of NCDs.
This focus on prevention is especially critical given the heightened susceptibility of NCD patients to COVID-19.
The UN meeting aimed to assess progress and challenges in achieving universal health coverage by 2030, under the theme “Universal health coverage: expanding our ambition for health and well-being in a post-COVID world.”
Sir Molwyn urged delegates to prepare rigorously for future pandemics, emphasizing the necessity for a globally scalable and flexible system to effectively manage global health crises.

I wondered when Molwyn ‘AstraZeneca’ Joseph was going to speak out on this new PLANDEMIC?
The propaganda has been spreading far and wide in the European countries, Canada, the UK and the US in recent times.
Molwyn just like had to pick the right time to try and HOODWINK Antiguans again – and now is the time for him to do so.
All I ask is one important question Mr Joseph:
Are you like MANY other global Health Ministers, paid by any pharmaceutical companies or Health Organisations to push this ongoing agenda, which will look more and more like a CONFLICT OF INTEREST?
Leave the studio man …
How these clowns go to these international forums and showcase like they really give a damn. The world is not ignorant of your absolute failures Molwyn Joseph. They have ways of getting the truth. “Spoke passionately!” Please.
Speak passionately about MSJ, Fiennes, Claire View; about your failures at CBH,about the closure of clinics so invaluable to community Healthcare.
You are the joker who told the world the boldface lie about children dying here from covid.
What about our 2.16 million for the cemetery? What have you done for this country lately? Give me an asprin!
What the hell does Sir Lift Mercedes Benz over the Port fence know about any of this?
He got caught red handed and now he is a minister and knighted.
Antigua is nothing but a Banana Republic. We all should commit a crime so we could at least get knighted and even hold a top political position.
