Ministry of Health & Social Services Montserrat

The Ministry of Health and Social Services (MOHSS) is focused on building robust and transformative approaches to providing better health system for Montserrat, that is integrated and equitable. We are embarking in a new phase of planning and change, exploring innovative approaches to enhance the work of the Ministry. Fundamental to these changes is the need to assist with rebuilding strong communities, and supporting community based activities, focusing a shift from a Secondary Care (Hospital treatment) centric model to a Primary Care (community & preventative) focused approach, aimed at building prevention and strong health promotion, reducing the burden for costly and sometimes unpleasant medical interventions through the Secondary Care setting.
