The Ministry of Health, Wellness and the Environment is hosting a symposium today with the objective of improving the quality of life of the aging population.
Held on the theme “Healthy Aging Starts Now” today’s event coincides with Caribbean Wellness Day, which was observed across the region last Saturday.
During today’s forum, held at the Ministry of Health’s Conference Room, there will be five one-hour presentations by health professionals on various issues relating to aging.
Caribbean Wellness Day is observed annually to increase awareness and promote activities to address non-communicable diseases, which are recognized as a threat to one’s wellbeing, and continue to severely impact the health, economy and development of Caribbean States and countries.
The symposium is expected to culminate at 3 this afternoon.
