BPM leader Trevor Walker has pledged to improve healthcare access in Barbuda by securing a dialysis machine for residents, citing the current hardship faced by patients.

Speaking at a community meeting last night, Walker highlighted the challenges of traveling to Antigua multiple times per week for life-saving treatment.

“You imagine going to Antigua twice a week… and coming back the same way,” he said, describing the situation as unacceptable.

He said a BPM administration would priorities healthcare investment, including trained personnel to operate the equipment locally.

Walker argued that the issue reflects broader neglect of Barbuda’s needs and vowed to address long-standing gaps in essential services.
