St Kitts and Nevis: The Prime Minister and Minister of Health Dr Terrance Drew marks the importance for the parents in St Kitts and Nevis related to the procedure of securing financial assistance from the Children’s Medical Fund.
At 46th Meeting of the Conference of Heads of Government of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) that was held in Guyana.
Following the call received by PM Drew from a concerned parent living in St Kitts and Nevis, the health minister reflected upon the urgency and took it to social media and wrote and informed that he received a call from a parent seeking assistance for their child from the children’s medical fund.
He added that the program is open to all citizens in both the islands St Kitts and Nevis. The citizens just need a referral from the doctor and they can contact at his office.
“We want to help as many of our children as possible and a number of our beloved children have already benefited and are thankfully alive today,” said PM Drew.
He mentioned that the parents no longer have to depend on sponsor sheets to determine if their child lives or dies.
Prime Minister Drew assured that he will continue to donate a portion of his salary towards charitable causes for the benefit of those in need.
Reportedly, the Children’s Medical Fund for Financial Assistance is an initiative, that offers the financial assistance to disadvantaged families with children in need of medical treatment, outside the twin island federation. The medical assistance was introduced by minister Drew when he conquered the office, back in 2022.
For the further inquiries and assistance of Children’s Medical Fund, the concerned parents and individuals are encouraged to reach out to the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) which is located at the Government Headquarters on Church Street or the Ministry of Social Development.
