St Kitts and Nevis Achieves Zero Maternal Deaths in 2025 and Launches Desalination Plant
Prime Minister Dr. Terrance Drew announced key developments including zero maternal deaths in 2025, nearing completion of the first MRI facility, and the commissioning of a government-owned desalination plant in St Kitts and Nevis. The maternal health success results from a coordinated monitoring system and the establishment of a high-risk pregnancy support fund. The desalination plant, costing EC$50-60 million, produces two million gallons of potable water daily as part of a broader water strategy. Additionally, the government acquired 77.23 acres of land in Frigate Bay for residential and commercial development.
