The Ministry of Health, Wellness, and Elderly Affairs reaffirms its commitment to safeguarding and honoring Saint Lucia’s older citizens as the island joins the global community in celebrating the International Day of Older Persons. This year’s theme highlights the crucial role seniors play in society, from shaping family traditions to guiding the future through their resilience and wisdom.

The Ministry is spearheading an initiative that focuses on bolstering support systems for older persons, especially in the face of natural disasters and emergencies. This includes strengthening community networks, creating senior-friendly safe spaces, and ensuring accessible information and medical support for older citizens.
