Public health response strengthened to prevent and respond to violence
During the 2024–2025 biennium, PAHO played a central role in strengthening the Bahamas’ public health approach to preventing and responding to violence, including violence against women and girls, and other populations in situations of vulnerability.
Maternal and newborn health data strengthened through national rollout of SIP+
In the 2024–2025 biennium, PAHO supported the Ministry of Health and Wellness in implementing and scaling up the Perinatal Information System Plus (SIP+) as a core component of the national digital health agenda in The Bahamas.
Infection prevention and control capacity scaled up nationwide
Over the biennium, PAHO supported the Bahamas in consolidating infection prevention and control (IPC) and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) efforts as integral components of health system strengthening and disease elimination.
National strategic framework for rehabilitation and assistive technology established
In 2024–2025, PAHO supported the Bahamas in achieving its first comprehensive assessment and strategic planning process for rehabilitation and assistive technology services.
Capacity strengthened to address environmental challenges effects
With sustained technical cooperation from PAHO, the Bahamas finalized and launched its Health National Adaptation Plan (HNAP) in late 2024, establishing a coherent framework to integrate environmental considerations, including climate change, into national health planning and decision-making.
