Dr Ardiana Gjini Director of Public Health, Hywel Dda University Health Board
I am pleased to welcome you to my first annual report as Executive Director of Public Health for Hywel Dda University Health Board. In this report, I focus on the health and wellbeing of children and young people and highlight some of the critical health issues in our region.
What is it like to grow up in Mid and West Wales today? What are the health challenges and issues that our children and young people face? What important factors now will shape their future health?

Every year, the Director of Public Health at Hywel Dda University Health Board is asked to write an Annual Report. This may focus on one area of public health, or take a wider view on population health and well-being across the Health Board area. Sadly, the Director of Public Health, Ros Jervis, passed away at the beginning of June 2022 after a short battle with cancer. The focus of this year’s DPH Annual Report is therefore a tribute to the leadership during her time with the Health Board since 2017, and the wonderful legacy that she leaves which will guide our ambitions to improve population health and well-being in the future.
