WESTERN Province Health Services is preparing to host its 2026 Provincial Health Conference, bringing together health professionals, support staff, development partners and stakeholders to review progress and set priorities for the remainder of the year.
Director of Western Province Health Services, Dr. Dickson Boara, told Island Sun that preparations for the conference are currently underway.
He said the conference will provide an important platform for doctors, supervising nurses, nurses, support staff and stakeholders to assess the implementation of the province’s 2026 health action plan and identify areas that require further attention.
According to Boara, the gathering will also assist health authorities to develop a revised action plan and allocate resources to support health programmes during the second half of the year.
“This conference is very important. We will again call on our partners, stakeholders and health officials to come together and review our existing plan.
“The outcome of the conference will be a new action plan for our health services towards the second half of the year and hopefully next year,” he said.
Boara said the conference will enable participants to evaluate achievements, challenges and emerging health priorities across the province, ensuring that services remain responsive to the needs of communities.
He said the event will strengthen collaboration among healthcare workers and development partners and help to improve planning and coordination within the provincial health system.
Boara said expected focus will be on key health indicators, service delivery performance, resource allocation and strategies to improve healthcare access for communities throughout Western Province.
He said the conference organising committee is currently working on arrangements to ensure the successful hosting of the event.
The conference is expected to attract health officials and stakeholders from across Western Province and serve as a roadmap for the continued improvement of healthcare services in the province.
