Saint Lucia is faced with limited capacity and fiscal space, as well as high levels of exposure to economic and weather shocks. The country has had limited success in adequately preparing for public health emergencies. Recent extreme weather events such as Hurricanes Irma and Maria (2017) and regional outbreaks of Chikungunya (2014), Zika (2016) and more recently COVID-19, have highlighted weaknesses in the preparedness of health systems in the Eastern Caribbean region to manage public health emergencies with Saint Lucia being no exception.

The Ministry of Health Wellness and Elderly Affairs (MOHWEA) indicates that Saint Lucia’s health sector Radio Communication System (RCS) was installed and commissioned in 2020. The National Emergency Management Organisation (NEMO) provided technical support for the conventional Land Mobile Radio’s (LMR) procurement and installation. The design was deficient, the installed network did not deliver the intended services, and there were budgetary and other build-out challenges. Hence, the MoHWEA is utilizing funds under the HSSP to undertake an upgrade to the system.

The Health System Strengthening Project (HSSP) is one of the most recent initiatives forged out of a partnership with the Government of Saint Lucia and the World Bank Group. The aim of the project is to improve the accessibility, efficiency, and responsiveness of healthcare delivery in Saint Lucia to its population. Improvement of the island’s healthcare sector has been a long-standing priority for the Government of Saint Lucia (GoSL), however the high prevalence of non-communicable diseases coupled with the continuing threat of highly infectious diseases such as Coronavirus (COVID-19) and dengue have highlighted the demand for a heightened momentum to this commitment.
