The week-long observance of Caribbean Wellness Day in Saint Lucia commenced with the Caribbean Wellness Day Sports and Wellness Fair held at the Leon Hess Secondary School. The Wellness Fair brought together a wide range of participants, including students, teachers, healthcare professionals, and other key stakeholders, for a day of engaging activities focused on fitness and health education. 


This year’s theme, “Power Through Collective Action”, emphasizes the vital role of communities, schools, and institutions in fostering healthier lifestyles and addressing the rise of NCDs.

The Ministry of Health, Wellness, and Elderly Affairs is inviting the public to participate in a Health Fair on Friday, September 13th, 2024, at the Micoud Wellness Centre starting at 10:00 AM, and in the Wellness Walk on Sunday, September 15th, 2024, at the Vieux Fort Philip Marcellin Grounds to the Laborie Playing Field from 5:30 AM. Both events are part of the observance of Caribbean Wellness Day 2024.
