We spend more on healthcare than most countries but our outcomes don’t reflect that.

Too many Bermudians are living with preventable conditions because of barriers to primary care and screenings.

Universal Health Coverage will improve access to the services that matter most before health problems get worse.

We believe in a healthier Bermuda for all of us.

Dear Listeners,

For many parents and guardians summer and out of school breaks mean finding camps that suit your child or children. When we think about finding quality camps we think about safety, fun, continued skill development and quality qualified care. When looking for a camp we think about is this camp affordable, will my child enjoy the activities, are the activities safe, is the location safe, are the camp councilors properly qualified. When looking for camps there are several things to consider, and making sure your needs as a parent/guardian and your children are met, is important.

This episode of Bermuda Health-Abets, a podcast where we discuss everything from A to Z on healthy living, is dubbed Camp Smart: Finding the Right Fit for Your Child. Bermuda residents to live well.

Our guests this episode is Marie Beach, Healthy Schools Coordinator from Department of Health. During this episode Marie talks about what indicates that an out of school camp is of good quality, where to find a list of available camps, the importance of researching to ensure safety, the qualification those running a camp should have, the benefit of camps registering although it's not mandated, and more. Tune to this episode to find out good tips for finding quality out of school camps.

Red tape shouldn’t stand between you and better healthcare.

Our current system limits access and makes basic health services more expensive than they should be.

That’s why Universal Health Coverage will include a new Core Benefits Package—designed to deliver better value, less waste, and stronger outcomes.

We’re building a system that works for everyone.

🌞 Protect your skin before it burns!
Not all sunscreens offer the same protection—and your skin deserves the best.

🧴 SPF 30+ blocks up to 97% of UVB rays, making it ideal for everyday use. Going to the beach or pool? Opt for water-resistant options to stay safe under the sun.

💡 Choosing the right SPF isn’t just smart—it’s essential for long-term skin health.

✅ Make SPF part of your daily routine. Your skin will thank you.

Feeling the heat this summer?

Dehydration is more common than you think — and it puts your health at risk. Staying hydrated isn't just about comfort — it’s your first line of defense against heat-related illnesses.

By drinking water frequently, you're protecting your body, keeping your energy up, and staying safe under the sun.

Stay ahead of the heat. Drink water often and encourage others to do the same.

✅ Your health matters make hydration a daily habit.

Most health costs come from treating illnesses after it’s too late.

In Bermuda, many chronic conditions could be prevented with early detection. But our system focuses on intervention, not prevention.

Universal Health Coverage changes that. It prioritizes regular screenings, checkups, and vaccines—so we can stay ahead of illness.

A healthier Bermuda starts with prevention.

Weather can be beautiful but also dangerous.

UV rays are strongest between 10AM and 4PM, putting your skin at high risk of damage, even on cloudy days.

Too much sun exposure can lead to premature aging, sunburns, and long-term risks like skin cancer. And Bermuda’s UV index ranks among the highest.

✔️ Stay in the shade during peak UV hours
✔️ Wear a wide-brim hat and sunglasses
✔️ Apply SPF 30+ every 2 hours

Protect your skin. Protect your health.
