The Bermuda Health Strategy Story
The Bermuda Health Strategy 2022-2027 builds on the previous five-year health strategy and provides the framework for strengthening Bermuda’s health system through 2027.
When the previous National Health Strategy was set to expire in 2019, the Ministry of Health began work to create a new strategy for the next five years (2020-2025) that could serve as a frame for a redesign of Bermuda’s health system. This work included a public survey, as well as surveys of, and interviews with, providers, insurers, professionals, and patients. A series of workshops with key stakeholders assisted in identifying design principles for a refreshed Health Strategy. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, progress stalled.
In early summer 2021, a new group of passionate and dedicated stakeholders from across Bermuda’s healthcare community joined together to form a steering committee whose main purpose was to develop a roadmap for strengthening the Island’s health system and achieving universal health coverage. In parallel with those efforts, the Ministry of Health, supported by professional advisory firm, KPMG, restarted the development of the next iteration of the Bermuda Health Strategy.
The Bermuda Health Strategy 2022- 2027 incorporates feedback from both the pre-pandemic stakeholders as well as the UHC steering committee members. Thanks to both of these groups’ hard work and enthusiasm for serving our Island, we now have a high level strategy that outlines the steps needed to improve the healthcare system in Bermuda.
Steering Committee
Purpose & Objectives
The 2021 Bermuda Health Strategy Steering Committee was comprised of a diverse group of Bermuda health system stakeholders who joined together to provide key contributions in the development of the 2022-2027 Bermuda Health Strategy. The Committee was tasked mainly with determining the best path forward for the Island in achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and ensuring its implementation through key stakeholder awareness, engagement and collaboration.
Reporting to the Minister of Health via the Chief Strategy Officer, the Committee's objectives included ensuring concrete strategic planning and reforms could be phased in, with a clear and transparent roadmap. The specific deliverables they agreed to produce included:
01
Project roadmap to deliver on the Government approved health system and health financing reforms
