Government continues to push towards the implementation of a National Wellness Policy.

Minister of State in the Ministry of Health and Wellness, Davidson Ishmael, says Government is treating a wellness policy with the utmost importance in a quest to encourage and create a healthier Barbados.

He says such a move is necessary as Government continues to spend millions to keep people living with non-communicable diseases alive and in good health.
