The Ministry of Health, Wellness and Elderly Affairs would like to inform the public of its two ongoing surveys, one on Universal Health Coverage and the other on the effects of COVID-19 on diet, exercise and non-communicable diseases.

The surveys are meant to gather information to assist the Ministry in developing policies and plans to better serve the population. The survey on the effects of COVID-19 on diet, exercise and non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, hypertension is being conducted via telephone by a team of trained personnel.

The survey on Universal Health Coverage will be conducted online and the link will be sent using text message, Zimbra email, or Government of Saint Lucia websites and social medica pages.

Please note that Ministry of Health has NOT commissioned any in-person or face to face surveys. Hence, at no time should anyone visit your premises to conduct these surveys on behalf of the Ministry of Health.

The Ministry urges the public to be vigilant and to participate in our surveys via the above-mentioned platforms. For more information, contact the office of the Chief Medical Officer at 468530 or Universal Health Coverage Director at 468.5331.
