The Ministry of Health, Wellness, Environment and Civil Service Affairs regrets to report an unlawful break-in and theft that occurred at its Headquarters between Monday 13th April and Tuesday 14th April, 2026.
During this incident, thirty (30) Dell Pro 16 PC16250 notebook computers were stolen. These devices were provided through the generous support of the Pan American Health Organization and were intended to enhance patient record systems and strengthen service delivery across community clinics in Antigua and Barbuda.
The loss of this equipment represents a significant setback to ongoing efforts to modernize healthcare services. It has the potential to delay improvements aimed at supporting healthcare workers and enhancing patient care, particularly for vulnerable groups such as children, the elderly, and individuals managing chronic conditions.
The Ministry expresses its deep outrage and profound disappointment at this incident and its impact on national healthcare development. The matter has been reported to the Royal Police Force of Antigua and Barbuda, and a full investigation is currently underway.
Members of the public are encouraged to come forward with any information that may assist in the investigation. All information, no matter how minor it may seem, could be helpful.
The Ministry also advises the public to exercise caution and to refrain from purchasing or accepting any laptops matching the description and serial numbers listed below. These devices remain the property of the Government of Antigua and Barbuda and are not authorized for sale or distribution. Possession of these items may result in legal consequences.
