Antiguan urologist Dr. Dwayne Thwaites has shared information on the after-process of prostate testing.

This, after 120 men on Montserrat participated in a men’s health screening event on Friday 3 July.

Dr. Thwaites says if the results are normal, the only thing the individual must do is return for testing the following year. However, he says, if results are abnormal, the next step is a biopsy procedure.

A series of public consultations on the development of Montserrat's Sustainable Development Strategy (SDS) and National Development Plan (NDP) began here on Monday.

The new Sustainable Development Strategy and National Development Plan will succeed the Montserrat Sustainable Development Plan (MSDP) 2008–2020, and provide an updated framework that reflects the island's current realities, emerging opportunities, and long-term ambitions.

A press release issued by the Cabinet Secretariat outlines that the Government of Montserrat recognizes that effective national development planning depends on broad participation and collaboration.
