Tuesday, January 13, 2004 - Prime Minister Honourable Dr. Kenny Anthony has sounded an early appeal for persons to adopt healthier lifestyles. The Prime Minister cited ailments most common to the St. Lucian populace such as diabetes and hypertension, as well as HIV/AIDS which can all be minimized or prevented, by practicing responsible and sensible behaviour and habits.

“While I intend to increase the pressure on the Minister of Health to step up the Health Awareness and Education Program of his Ministry, I want to implore everyone to pay closer attention to their diets, to embark on a sustainable exercise and fitness program, and to reduce or eliminate the intake of products that can damage your health.”

The nation’s health sector is currently undergoing intense reform towards optimizing facilities and services that the public can access. According to the Prime Minister, later this year a Task Force will explain a proposed system of Universal Health Care to the general public.
