WATER INFRASTRUCTURE & DESALINATION

Prime Minister Dr. Terrance Drew reported zero maternal deaths in 2025 in St Kitts and Nevis, attributing this milestone to a coordinated pregnancy monitoring system and a high-risk pregnancy support fund.

The country's first MRI facility is 95-96% complete, set to reduce overseas diagnostic travel. The new government-owned desalination plant, costing EC$50-60 million, produces two million gallons of potable water daily.

This plant is integral to a wider water security strategy. Furthermore, the government acquired 77.23 acres in Frigate Bay for residential and commercial development, aimed at enhancing accessibility for citizens in valuable districts.
