Animal slaughtering in St. Lucia occurs on a weekly basis in abattoirs around the island.
The process is guided by procedures set by various different agencies, in order to maintain product and service quality to the general public.
In keeping with tradition, abattoirs become busier during the month of December, as more people look to purchase meat for their Christmas dishes.
As a result, The Ministry of Health Wellness and Elderly Affairs joins forces with the Agricultural Ministry to ensure best practices are kept during the increase in production.

This year's observance of Universal Health Day is a call to action to protect and advance the right to health for ALL. This speaks directly to the need for eroding the inequities which create barriers to care and widening the coverage of quality healthcare services. By so doing, we build societies with a strengthened foundation where citizens can live more fulfilling and productive lives.

Health sector organizations around the world all joined in the annual observance of World Diabetes Day on November 14th.
The Ministry of Health, Wellness, and Elderly Affairs this year kicked off activities with a speech by the Health Minister.
Minister Jn. Baptiste in his speech says this yearโ€™s focus is on education and demystifying rumors.

Family Life Educator within the Ministry, Laurentia Maylor, says activities will span over a period of two weeks in health clinics around the island. This yearโ€™s campaign places a heavy focus on helping people understand and balance their sugar and sodium intakes, using the plate method.

The activities will be interactive, giving participants the opportunity to pose questions to the nurses present. Other activities will include a panel discussion with health officials and testimonials from the St. Lucia Diabetic and Hypertension Association.

According to data collected from 2018 to 2022, the number of registered persons over the age of 18 living with diabetes has declined.

The Ministry of Health is using this yearโ€™s drive to also encourage persons to register for care and monitoring at their local facilities.

To just think, in 2022 there is the continued need for November 25 to be used as a platform for the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.
A simple act of pause and reflection today should bring into focus the human and social injustice of gender-based violence.
There still remains the urgent need for collective commitment and focused action to transform the lived experiences of our women and girls...๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ณ ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฐ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ด, ๐˜ค๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ญ๐˜ฅ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ, ๐˜ด๐˜ช๐˜ด๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ด, ๐˜ข๐˜ถ๐˜ฏ๐˜ต๐˜ด, ๐˜ค๐˜ฐ๐˜ญ๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜จ๐˜ถ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด, ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ๐˜ช๐˜จ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ณ๐˜ด, ๐˜ง๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ๐˜ด.

Representatives from the World Bank recently visited Saint Lucia on a mission aimed at providing guidance to fast-track the readiness of the launch of the Performance-Based Financing (PBF) pilot.

The mission focused on the training of key stakeholders on change management and use of funds, providing technical support on the communications component for the PBF launch, providing technical guidance on the legal and operational aspects of the PBF and providing guidance on global practices on PBF implementation from other countries.

Meetings were held with staff from the Project Implementation Unit within the Ministry of Health and other health officials and representatives.
The performance-based financing pilot is focused on providing screening and treatment services for diabetes and hypertension at primary healthcare facilities.
It is expected to be implemented in a phased approach and will cover 8 primary healthcare facilities in the first instance.
Performance-based financing is considered an effective step toward achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC) in Saint Lucia.

Diabetes can lead to serious diseases affecting the heart and blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, nerves, and teeth. In most high-income countries, diabetes is a leading cause of cardiovascular disease, blindness, kidney failure, and lower limb amputation. It is expected to affect 629 million adults by 2045.

Here we are providing every club a chance to take part in our Online Diabetes Awareness Campaign, which is the signature cause of Lions and Leos around the world. Our goal is that every person who does the survey becomes aware of his/her risk to Diabetes and starts taking preventive action, thus help him/her avoid becoming type 2 diabetic.

This service can be done anytime, anywhere especially during the lockdown period where doing service has become a great challenge to us lions.
Join the Castries Lions in the Campaign. Click on the link below, paste into your web browser and take the test.

Operation of services at the community wellness centres

As the Ministry of Health and Wellness continues to control the spread of COVID-19, the Community Health Nursing Service informs the public that all clinics except doctorโ€™s clinic at the various community wellness centres will be conducted only by scheduled appointments.

In order to adhere to the physical distancing measures, persons are asked to call or visit their respective wellness centre to make an appointment. Doctorโ€™s clinic at the various wellness centres will be available on a daily basis from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Therefore, persons are advised to avoid all coming in the morning unless there is an emergency. Instead, persons should come to visit the doctor throughout the day.

In addition, the eye clinic will resume at the Owen King EU Hospital on June 11, 2020 by appointments only. Clients will be informed via a telephone call.

All persons coming to conduct business at the various community wellness centres must wear a mask and adhere to the rules of physical distancing. Before entering the facility, personโ€™s hands will be sanitized with an alcohol base solution.

The Ministry of Health will continue to take all necessary precautions to ensure the safety of all patients and staff during the COVID-19 pandemic and to make everyone as comfortable as possible whilst they wait and seek care.
Did you catch the latest radio drama series iRight???

This new educational and entertainment series commenced today on Radio Caribbean International at 3p and continues every Monday for the next 20 weeks.

It's one not to be missed. In the vein of Apwes Plaisir which aired over 20 years ago. Don't miss this creative discourse on a gamete of Human Rights issues; physical and psychological abuse, gender inequity, social disenfranchisement, etc.

Congratulations to PCI Media for driving this initiative and bringing all partners to table to generate attitudinal and behaviour change around these critical issues.

Photos below are from the launch of iRight tonight at Blue Coral Mall.

So remember, tune in next week Monday at 3pm on RCI.
Getting down to the meat of the matter.
It's a trap!
Are you familiar with your human rights?
Don't miss out๐Ÿ˜Ž
Living with a chronic illness? Then this is well worth giving a listen.
