Ministry of Health launches seniors exercise programme
from Government of Saint Lucia
The Ministry of Health, Wellness and Elderly Affairs, through its Bureau of Health Education and Elderly Affairs Units, in partnership with the Taiwan International Cooperation and Development Fund (Taiwan ICDF), has launched a structured Seniors Exercise Programme aimed at promoting physical activity, health, and wellness among older adults in Saint Lucia. This new initiative is designed to meet the specific needs of elderly individuals through low-impact, safe, and effective exercises that improve flexibility, balance, strength, and cardiovascular health. The programme also seeks to foster mental well-being and community participation, recognizing the importance of social interaction in healthy aging. As part of the pilot phase, the Ministry has selected several homes for the elderly island-wide to participate in the programme. This phased rollout allows health officials to closely monitor implementation, gather feedback, and make necessary adjustments to ensure the programme’s success before considering a broader national expansion.
