The Health Fraternity has lost an exemplary leader

Published
Phillipa Roberts

The Ministry of Health, Wellness, Social Transformation, and the Environment extends its deepest condolences to the family, friends, and colleagues of Phillipa Roberts, former Superintendent of Public Health Nursing (SPHN).

Roberts was an exemplary leader whose commitment, passion for Public Health Nursing and Nursing Education in Antigua and Barbuda touched countless lives. Roberts was a Nurse Educator at the School of Nursing for many years before her appointment as SPHN.

Sir Molwyn Joseph, Minister of Health, expressed his sorrow at the loss, stating, “Phillipa Roberts was a pillar in our healthcare system.

Her dedication to improving the health and wellbeing of our nation was unmatched, and her absence will be deeply felt by all. We have lost not only a brilliant nurse and leader but also a cherished colleague and friend.”

The management and staff of the Ministry, along with the nursing fraternity of Antigua and Barbuda, remember her tireless efforts, professionalism, and compassion. Her legacy of service, care, and advocacy for public health will forever remain in our hearts.

We offer our heartfelt sympathy to her family during this difficult time. May her soul rest in eternal peace.

      My deepest condolences to Phillipa Roberts’ family members, her Ministry of Health family, the communities she served and her friends. It’s truly a sad day when a Public Health stalwart dies but I encourage you all (Antigua and Barbuda) to let her legacy lives on by maintaining and improving on the pillars that she built.
      May her soul rest in peace.
