5:29Now PlayingThe Ministry of Health, Wellness and Elderly Affairs joins the global community in observance of World Tuberculosis (TB) Day today, March 24, 2025. This marks 43 years since the day was first observed and 143 years since the discovery of the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which causes TB.
Under the global theme “We Can End TB: Commit, Invest, deliver”, the Ministry reaffirms its commitment to eliminating TB in Saint Lucia through sustained public education, active case detection, and free treatment services.
In 2023, Saint Lucia recorded two documented cases of pulmonary TB, with one associated death and no HIV/TB co-infections. This reflects Saint Lucia’s low-burden TB status, as defined by the World Health Organization (WHO), with fewer than 10 cases per 100,000 people annually. However, health officials emphasize that even one TB-related death is one too many.
