The Ministry of Health, Wellness, and Elderly Affairs has strengthened its fight against chronic illnesses by hosting a Capacity Building Workshop as part of the island-wide Capacity Building Project for the Prevention and Control of Metabolic Chronic Diseases. Over two days, healthcare professionals from across Saint Lucia enhanced their expertise in managing non-communicable diseases (NCDs), particularly diabetes and hypertension, two of the island’s most pressing health concerns. 


The workshop provided an invaluable platform for healthcare workers to gain the latest knowledge and tools necessary for improving the prevention, management, and control of chronic diseases. Through a series of expert presentations and engaging discussions, participants shared ideas, explored new strategies, and developed actionable plans to mitigate the growing burden of NCDs in the nation.
