Twenty-Eight New Nursing Assistants Join Antigua and Barbuda’s Healthcare Workforce
Twenty-eight new Assistive Nursing Personnel have officially entered the healthcare system after graduating on Tuesday evening at the Multi-Purpose Cultural and Exhibition Centre.
The Class of 2025 includes 21 females and seven males. Miss Yannick O’Garro received the Valedictorian award for the highest academic performance over the six-month programme.
Health Minister Sir Molwyn Joseph, featured speaker Dr. Karen Josiah, Programme Coordinator Elnora Warner, and Permanent Secretary Stacey Gregg-Paige delivered remarks, praising the graduates for their commitment and highlighting the critical role Assistive Nursing Personnel play in patient care and hospital support.
Speakers noted that the programme continues to strengthen the nation’s healthcare workforce, particularly amid growing demand for trained support staff.
The ceremony also included a musical performance of “There Can Be Miracles” by local singer Suzetta Hamilton.
The Ministry of Health has extended congratulations to the graduates and says it anticipates their meaningful contribution across healthcare facilities in Antigua and Barbuda.
