Launch of the Unite in Care labor market platform

Unite in Care officially launched at the Caribbean Netherlands Healthcare Conference

On June 11, 2026, the Unite in Care labor market platform was officially launched during the Caribbean Netherlands Healthcare Conference on Bonaire. With this new platform, the social partners of the BES Healthcare CLA are taking an important step in strengthening the healthcare and social care sector on Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba.

One central place for healthcare and social care
