The transition of the youth health care (JGZ) team from Sentro Akseso to GGD Bonaire / Salubridat Públiko of the Public Entity of Bonaire (OLB) was completed as of November 1, 2026. With this, JGZ is now fully integrated into GGD Bonaire / Salubridat Públiko.
Over the past few months, GGD Bonaire / Salubridat Públiko and Sentro Akseso have worked hard to prepare for the transition. Agreements were reached and steps were taken to ensure that employees could continue their work effectively within the public health care system. Care for parents, caregivers, and young people continued uninterrupted throughout the transition.
JGZ focuses on the health and development of pregnant women, infants, children, and adolescents. Its services include the child health clinic (from pregnancy through age 4), school health care (ages 4 to 12), adolescent care (age 12 and older), and the implementation of the National Immunization Program.
The Same Care, the Same Locations
Nothing will change for parents, caregivers, and young people. They can continue to count on the care they’ve come to know. For the time being, the child health clinic will remain located in the Sentro Akseso building at Kaya Prinses Marie 7. The school health care and adolescent health care teams will continue to operate out of schools on Bonaire.
New Phase for JGZ
With the completion of this project, a new phase begins for JGZ on Bonaire, in which the knowledge, experience, and dedication of the staff form an indispensable foundation for the continuation and further development of youth health care on the island. GGD Bonaire / Salubridat Públiko looks forward to continuing to work with its trusted JGZ colleagues to build accessible, high-quality services for all children and youth on Bonaire.
