On December 3rd, 2025, Dr. Jenson Morton – Director of Health Institutions in the Ministry of Health discussed a flagship healthcare project which aims to modernize community-based medical services in St. Kitts.
Originally planned as a standard health center, the facility was reimagined due to St. Peters’ rapid population growth and its geographic separation from central Basseterre. The revised plan transforms the clinic into a full-service polyclinic offering multiple essential services under one roof. Dr. Morton shared this development:
Dr. Jenson Morton. Once completed, the St. Peters Polyclinic will include the community’s first pharmacy, laboratory services, and dental clinic, alongside expanded primary healthcare services. It will also function as a semi-ambulance depot, providing urgent care access during designated hours.
