The Ministry of Health, Wellness, Environment and Civil Service Affairs is aware of recent allegations concerning the admission and treatment of a U.S. citizen at Clarevue Psychiatric Hospital. The Ministry takes these allegations seriously and has initiated an internal investigation.

While cautioning against premature conclusions, we are committed to a prompt and thorough review. This will include examining the patient’s admission, treatment, conditions of stay, and discharge, as well as the conduct of all personnel involved. Efforts are already underway to engage all parties concerned.

The Ministry remains fully committed to treating all patients – citizens, residents, and visitors alike – with dignity, compassion, and in accordance with established medical, ethical, and legal standards. We assure the public, our international partners, and all stakeholders that Antigua and Barbuda’s health sector upholds transparency, accountability, and the highest standards of care.
