• Medical equipment and furnishings tailored to provide comprehensive care.
• The upper floor houses staff accommodation, featuring a two-bedroom furnished apartment with all the necessary facilities​​​.

Community Impact and Expectations

The Colihaut Health Centre is more than just a medical facility; it is a source of hope and pride for the community. It was built on the site of an older, structurally weak health centre, demonstrating the government's commitment to maintaining and significantly improving healthcare services in the area. Community members are encouraged to take ownership of the facility, ensuring its preservation and proper use for future generations. The centre is expected to serve as a cornerstone for health education, promoting wellness and preventive care among the residents of Colihaut​​​.

This facility is part of a broader initiative. The government has constructed 12 health and wellness centres across Dominica, six of which had been commissioned at the time of the Colihaut centre's opening. This underlines a national strategy to bolster healthcare infrastructure, ensuring residents have access to high-quality medical care and wellness resources.
