A client-oriented health service

Sensitive to the needs of patients in which doctors and other health professionals will listen to and discuss fully with their patients who provide feedback concerning their level of satisfaction with the service offered in order to guide improvements in care. Health professionals will willingly participate in continuing education and re-accreditation would be mandatory.

Healthy environment

Potable water must be universally available. There must be proper treatment and disposal of human and solid waste. We must protect the environment and coastal waters including Kingston Harbour. High standards of personal hygiene and food hygiene must be the norm.

There is a need for numerous parks, green open areas, nature reserves, playing and sporting areas, walking and riding tracks. We must plant more trees and pay attention to landscaping aesthetics and gardens. Cities should have significant areas free of vehicles in which one walks or takes a trolley on rails.

Good health at low cost

Health outcomes must continue to improve significantly without the excessive expenditure which arises from fragmented health services in which interest groups profit from peoples illnesses. We anticipate more years of a healthy, productive life, reduced infant mortality, reduced maternal mortality, the elimination or control of communicable diseases, increased life expectancy, fewer complications from chronic diseases, fewer injuries from trauma, fewer disabilities and an enhanced quality of life.

Caring communities

Social services need to support communities and families in an integrated way to better care for the elderly, the disabled, the mentally impaired and persons with special needs.
