The San Sauveur Health Centre provides a wide range of essential medical services to maintain residents' health and well-being. These services include:

• General Medical Consultations – Routine checkups, diagnosis, and treatment for common illnesses.
• Maternal and Child Health Services – Prenatal and postnatal care, infant growth monitoring, and vaccinations.

To enhance healthcare services, a resident doctor has been deployed at the San Sauveur Health Centre to provide care for patients with chronic illnesses and other medical conditions. This initiative aims to bring specialized care closer to the community, reducing the need for long-distance travel to major hospitals.

Serving the San Sauveur Community

San Sauveur is a small rural village, and access to healthcare is critical for residents who rely on community-based health centres for primary medical services. The San Sauveur Health Centre ensures that individuals and families have access to quality, affordable, and preventative healthcare within their own community.

Additionally, the health centre participates in public health education, encouraging healthy lifestyles, disease prevention, and wellness initiatives. Through community outreach programs, residents are informed about proper nutrition, sanitation, and preventative health measures to improve overall well-being.

Strengthening Healthcare in Dominica

As part of Dominica's public health system, the San Sauveur Health Centre plays a vital role in achieving the country’s goal of universal healthcare access. By focusing on preventative care, early diagnosis, and continuous medical support, the facility helps improve public health outcomes in San Sauveur and the surrounding communities.
