The Ministry of Health, Wellness and Elderly Affairs, in collaboration with the Taiwan International Cooperation and Development Fund (ICDF) and Cathay General Hospital, continues to make significant strides in strengthening Saint Lucia’s primary healthcare system through a four-year capacity building project for the prevention and control of Metabolic Chronic Diseases.
The project targets and improves screening, management, and control of conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and chronic kidney disease. With its implementation already making tangible impacts across communities, the initiative is helping to reshape health outcomes island wide.
The fourth workshop component initiated on April 2nd to 3rd at the Bel Jou Hotel focused on integrating the CARPHA and HEARTS guidelines for diabetes and hypertension into primary care practice.
