Ministry of Health Fulfills Promise to Public Following Successful Health Fair

The Ministry of Health, Wellness, Environment, and Civil Service Affairs is proud to announce that it has fulfilled its commitment made to the public during the Health Fair held in July 2025 at the Multipurpose Cultural and Exhibition Centre.

After months of processing and manufacturing hundreds of prescription glasses, United Hands Incorporated and the Seventh-day Adventist Church have confirmed that more than five hundred (500+) prescription glasses have been shipped and are now in the Ministry’s possession for distribution.

The Ministry extends heartfelt appreciation to United Hands Incorporated and the Seventh-day Adventist Church for their remarkable partnership and generosity in making this vision project possible. Their contribution has helped restore not only sight, but also confidence, dignity, and quality of life to hundreds of citizens.

The distribution of prescription glasses will take place at 39ers Square, Ministry of Health Headquarters, according to the following schedule:

Surnames A–D: Monday, October 27 | 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.

Surnames E–I: Monday, October 27 | 2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.

Surnames J–Z: Tuesday, October 28 | 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.

Persons collecting their prescription glasses are required to present a valid form of identification.

Meanwhile, the Minister of Health, Sir Molwyn Joseph, expressed sincere gratitude to United Hands Incorporated and the Seventh-day Adventist Church for their generosity and steadfast commitment. He noted that this initiative stands as a testament to the Ministry’s mission to ensure that every resident can access quality healthcare and essential dental and vision services.

As the Minister reaffirmed, “When we open our eyes, we open our hearts to the world around us.” The Ministry remains steadfast in its vision to ensure that every citizen not only sees more clearly, but lives more fully.
