AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Back-to-school health push: Saint Lucia’s Ministry of Health is urging families to “fuel, move and thrive” this school year with its “Be Healthy, Active, Smart” message—better nutrition (more local, seasonal foods; water over sugary drinks), short movement breaks during the day, and quick mental well-being check-ins to reduce stress and anxiety. Heat stress warning: With hot, dry weather and El Niño pressure building, clinics are seeing more dizziness and fainting; officials advise extra water, sun avoidance, and extra care for older adults, children, and pregnant women. Breastfeeding support in Vieux Fort: A hands-on workshop at the Vieux Fort Wellness Centre helped mothers and expectant mothers practice positioning and latching, tackle common myths, and build confidence during Breastfeeding Awareness Month. Regional critical care training: PAHO/WHO and Ross University supported a simulation-based workshop for about 25 health professionals across seven Eastern Caribbean countries to strengthen responses to severe infections and pandemic-level critical illness. Suicide prevention skills: A three-day workshop with Guadeloupe partners is training Saint Lucia health professionals to spot early warning signs and intervene to prevent suicidal behaviours. Food safety and labels: The Saint Lucia Bureau of Standards is responding to complaints about poor beverage labelling with a juice labelling workshop for entrepreneurs and compliance guidance. Health-linked community sports support: Flow’s “Every Six Gives Back” initiative is turning CPL sixes into support for education, sport, health, and community projects, including free connectivity for cricket clubs in St. Lucia.
