The Ministry of Health, Wellness and Nutrition recently conducted a Disease Surveillance Training for Vaccine Preventable Diseases as part of activities marking Vaccination Week of the Americas 2026.
The training brought together healthcare workers from across the ministry to strengthen Saint Lucia’s disease detection systems. The session focused on syndromic surveillance, a system that looks at groups of symptoms in patients to help detect possible disease outbreaks early. This approach allows health officials to respond more quickly to potential public health threats and better protect the public.
