AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoCardiac Care: Saint Lucian physician Lestin Celestin has trained in interventional cardiology, a specialty that can treat blocked heart arteries with minimally invasive procedures. He could become the island’s only locally based specialist, but public hospitals lack cardiac catheterisation labs; the service is currently available at Tapion Hospital through a visiting specialist. Medical Legacy: Prime Minister Philip J. Pierre paid tribute to brothers Dr. Peter St. Rose, an obstetrician and gynaecologist, and Dr. Richardson St. Rose, an orthopaedic, spinal and trauma surgeon. Their decades of care, mentorship and service helped shape Saint Lucia’s health system. Disease Surveillance: Saint Lucia took part in a PAHO meeting in Puerto Rico to shape guidance for earlier detection of emerging respiratory viruses, including coordinated monitoring of human and animal health signals.
