Government of Bermuda
Mr Speaker and Honourable Members,
I stand before this Honourable House to highlight an important initiative by my Ministry: Bermuda’s 50 Million Steps Challenge.
Good morning everyone,
Today is World Day for Safety and Health at work. I am here today to acknowledge the important work done to ensure the health and safety of workers in Bermuda and around the world, and also to commemorate those who have lost their lives in industrial accidents.
The Health Insurance Department (HID) is pleased to advise the public that they have made several changes which will simplify the claims process relating to the Personal Home Care Benefit.
The Personal Home Care Benefit (PHC) was introduced in 2015 as a HIP and FutureCare benefit under the Health Insurance Act 1970. The Benefit assists FutureCare and HIP policyholders with the costs of personal care services in their home.
The Ministry of Health and Seniors announces that two advisors from the Pan American Health Organization / World Health Organization (PAHO/WHO) based in Washington, DC are on the island from 3 - 7 April, to support public health preparedness in advance of the America's Cup event. The two experts, Dr Roberta Andraghetti and Dr Marion Bullock DuCasse, are experienced public health practitioners specializing in infection prevention and control, compliance with International Health Regulations and management of mass gatherings.
