The All Saints Clinic, closed since 2023, is being transformed into a full-scale polyclinic as part of major upgrades to the country’s primary healthcare system.

Health Minister Sir Molwyn Joseph confirmed that extensive repairs are now underway at the facility, which serves one of Antigua and Barbuda’s most populated communities. Patients had been redirected to the Glanville’s Polyclinic during the closure, with free shuttle transportation provided.

Sir Molwyn explained that the reopening was delayed due to structural issues that required engineering assessments, as well as work to upgrade the IDC Unit at the Old Holberton Hospital to accommodate the Browne’s Avenue Clinic temporarily. With that completed, contractors are now working simultaneously on both the All Saints and Browne’s Avenue facilities.

The Minister also announced that the All Saints Clinic will be expanded to deliver a wider range of services. In addition to its previous offerings—maternal and child health, wound care, chronic disease management, psychiatric and dental services—the upgraded polyclinic will feature specialist consultations in nephrology, internal medicine, gynecology, and urology.

New services will include daily pediatrics, laboratory testing, radiology, EKGs, ophthalmology clinics, and an on-site pharmacy.

“This expansion ensures residents of All Saints and surrounding areas will have access to comprehensive care close to home,” Sir Molwyn said.

    The government who suppose to build 500 homes in 500days can’t renovate an existing clinic in under 3years? Then yall go wait 4years after the clinic open to start send nurses on training to staff it

    Very good. They need to get whoever responsible for the upkeep ok the Vila polyclinic and community center to maintain All saints too. I think maintenance is one of our main challenges
