The Ministry of Health, Wellness, and Elderly Affairs will embark on a nationwide initiative in November to assess the presence of schistosomiasis (bilharzia) among primary school children aged 8 to 11. This initiative aims to detect and address potential cases of this waterborne disease, which is transmitted through contact with contaminated water in rivers, streams, and ponds, where specific snails release the disease-causing eggs.
The survey will involve a random sample of students from public primary schools across Saint Lucia. Parents will receive information packages and consent forms with full details about the survey process, and participation is entirely voluntary. To minimize any disruption to academic activities, the survey will be conducted during school hours.
By undertaking this initiative, the Ministry aims to take a significant step toward safeguarding the health and well-being of Saint Lucia's youth, ensuring a healthier future for all.
