Health Ministry Hosts Caribbean Wellness Day Fair at Micoud Wellness Centre

The Ministry of Health, Wellness, and Elderly Affairs brought vibrant energy to the Micoud community as it successfully celebrated Caribbean Wellness Day with a dynamic Health Fair at the Micoud Wellness Centre on Friday, September 15, 2024. The Health Fair provided an invaluable opportunity for residents to take charge of their health by fostering a renewed sense of community wellness and vitality. Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including diabetes, hypertension, stroke, heart attacks, and mental health disorders, are closely tied to unhealthy diet, insufficient physical activity, tobacco smoking and alcohol abuse. Addressing these health challenges requires a concerted effort from both individuals and the healthcare system.
