The Ministry of Health has announced the implementation of the revised Chronic Disease Assistance Programme (CDAP), effective today.

The changes come as part of the Government’s broader Health Reform Programme aimed at strengthening the country’s public health infrastructure.

Dr. Lackram Bodoe, Minister of Health, commissioned a CDAP Review Committee on June 5, 2025, to assess the programme’s clinical, operational, and financial effectiveness. The committee's findings found the need for an updated drug list, enhanced diagnostic capabilities, and a more modern structure to address evolving medical needs.
