The Government of Saint Lucia through funding from the Health System Strengthening Project and the OECS Regional Health Project has committed to undertaking significant infrastructural developments at various health facilities around the island. This initiative is expected to play a part in modernizing the primary health care system and also improve the delivery of health services to the public. Some of the infrastructural improvements include rehabilitative works on the Fond Assau, Vanard, Babonneau, La Fargue and Richfond Wellness Centres. In the coming months, rehabilitative works are expected on the Mon Repos Wellness Centre and Dennery Hospital. The Ministry of Health is still committed to redevelopment plans for the Ciceron and La Croix Maingot Wellness Centres. 

Saint Lucia is leading the charge in reshaping primary education across the region. With the launch of a new OECS-wide curriculum, teachers are being trained to deliver lessons that reflect modern standards, regional identity, and real-world skills.

Ingrid hails from the tiny island nation of Saint Lucia, a lushCaribbean island known for its volcanic peaks, vibrant Creole culture, and status as the only country named after a woman. With a population of around 180,000, Saint Lucia blends African, French, and British influences, and though its official language is English, many speak Saint Lucian Creole.Ingrid trained as a physician in Cuba on a Saint Luciangovernment scholarship, worked in paediatrics, and later took on various public health roles across the Caribbean. She made a big move  to study  Master's degree in Adelaide, where she met herpartner—but it was the appeal of small-city life that drew her to Hobart for her Ph.D.Now based at the Menzies Institute, she's deep into healtheconomics research and has found a second home in Tasmania—one that, surprisingly, shares much with her island roots.

fWotD Episode 2995: Hurricane Claudette (2003) Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Thursday, 17 July 2025, is Hurricane Claudette (2003).Hurricane Claudette was a moderately strong tropical cyclone that struck South Texas in July 2003. A fairly long-lived July Atlantic hurricane, Claudette was the fourth depression, third tropical storm and first hurricane of the 2003 Atlantic hurricane season. Claudette began as a tropical wave in the eastern Caribbean. It moved quickly westward, brushing past the Yucatán Peninsula before moving northwestward through the Gulf of Mexico. Claudette remained a tropical storm until just before making landfall in Port O'Connor, Texas, when it quickly strengthened to a strong Category 1 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale. Forecasting of its path and intensity was uncertain throughout its lifetime, resulting in widespread and often unnecessary preparations along its path.Claudette was the first hurricane to make landfall in July in the United States since Hurricane Danny in the 1997 season. The hurricane caused two deaths and moderate damage in Texas, mostly from strong winds, as well as extensive beach erosion. Because of the damage, President George W. Bush declared portions of South Texas a Federal Disaster Area, allowing the affected citizens to apply for aid. Claudette also caused significant rainfall and minor damage in the Mexican state of Quintana Roo as a tropical storm, as well as minor damage on Saint Lucia before developing into a tropical cyclone.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:59 UTC on Thursday, 17 July 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Hurricane Claudette (2003) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Kendra.

Saint Lucia has taken another step toward strengthening its national innovation framework.  A recent stakeholder engagement brought together representatives from key sectors to help shape the direction of a regional project aimed at advancing skills development and economic growth.

The Ministry of Equity, Social Justice and Empowerment continues to advance its commitment to inclusive national development with the convening of a high-level consultation focused on the formation of a national Faith-Based Association.  The session, held recently at the Ministry's Conference Room, brought together representatives from over ten religious denominations from across Saint Lucia, all unified in their desire to strengthen collaboration and community outreach efforts through a cohesive and representative body. This consultation marks a pivotal step following the National Faith-Based Symposium held in April, where religious leaders collectively advocated for a broader, more inclusive association to work alongside existing faith bodies such as the Christian Council.

Many golf courses pride themselves on their lush landscapes, but few stop to consider the unseen challenges of maintaining them—especially on remote islands. In this episode, we dive into the unexpected realities of water management at one of the world's most stunning new golf resorts, Cabot St. Lucia. Without easy access to freshwater, maintaining fairways and greens becomes a surprisingly complex and costly endeavor, revealing a hidden problem that many golf operations face without even realizing it. As director of agronomy Damon Di Giorgio explains, water scarcity isn't just a looming environmental issue—it's a daily operational reality that demands creative solutions. From reverse osmosis desalination systems to microclimate-specific management strategies, Damon and his team must be meticulous with every drop. Listeners will come to appreciate how standard practices elsewhere would spell disaster in a setting like St. Lucia—and why sustainable resource management isn't a bonus, but a necessity. By the end of the conversation, you'll see how Cabot St. Lucia isn't just surviving these challenges—they're setting a new standard for eco-conscious, cost-effective golf course management. Through innovative partnerships, on-site nurseries, and precision agronomy practices, the team at Cabot demonstrates that environmental sustainability and financial sustainability can—and must—go hand-in-hand for the future of golf.

Chelsea and Callie are here to give you all of your Bravo recaps! First, they break down another episode of the ‘Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' vacation in Saint Lucia, admiring how beautiful it is there (00:54). They dissect the Dorit and Sutton's drama that unraveled on the boat and consider whether Kyle should have been more supportive. Next, they get into the continued break-up of Craig and Paige on ‘Summer House,' as well as Carl's surprisingly amazing shipwrecked party (16:25). They discuss their thoughts on Jesse and his flirting with Sierra while Lexi was gone, then get into the last episode of ‘Southern Charm' before the reunion (43:49). Callie gets Chelsea's opinion on the Venita and JT situation, and hope that the receipts Venita brings to the reunion will be valid.

The trip to Saint Lucia kicks off with a confrontational dinner, followed by a confrontational catamaran ride. The close friendship between Garcelle and Sutton is tested throughout as Garcelle bristles seeing Sutton defend Kyle and ultimately decides to let Sutton stand alone when fielding critiques. Jennifer Tilly and Kathy continue to bring levity even if it's questionable whether Kathy knows who Jennifer is. Erika makes a point of airing both new and old grievances towards Sutton throughout the episode and Boze finally gets the chance to observe Dorit in action. All opinions are personal and not representative of any outside company, person, or agenda.
