National health policy

The Ministry’s vision is “to reaffirm the commitment to facilitate the concept of healthy islands and health promotion and protection where children are nurtured in body and mind; environments invite learning and leisure; people work and age with dignity; ecological balance is a source of pride; and the ocean is protected to sustain our needs”.
The mission is “to strengthen the commitment to healthy islands concept in implementing health promotion to protect and promote healthy lifestyles to improve the lives of the people through primary health care services, and to build the capacity of the Ministry of Health, communities, families and partners to actively participate and coordinate preventive services programs and activities as the core resources in primary health care services”.
