THE POWER IN PARTNERSHIPS - ENHANCING DELIVERY AND BUILDING THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS
Tobago ’ s health care facilities are comparable to the best offered regionally and globally . Over the last sixteen years , the PNM led Tobago House of Assembly has demonstrated that health and wellness are priorities for a progressively developing Tobago .
We believe that a well-structured and managed health care system will contribute to higher levels of productivity and efficiency among the workforce . We also believe that we have a duty and an obligation to take care of our unborn , our children , our adults and the elderly to elevate and improve the standard of living for all Tobagonians .
Over the next four years , we plan to :
• Promote the continued decentralisation of primary health care delivery to the community level
• Decrease the incidence of life style diseases by providing health education and early screening
• Providing early screening to address cancers in men by facilitating P . S . A . testing and other forms of screening at decentralised venues
• Reduce cancers in women by making mammograms , pap smears and other forms of cancers screening to local communities
• Refurbishment of the community health facilities on the island
