Saint Lucia is privileged to collaborate with the Caribbean Public Health Agency to host the 68th Annual Health Research Conference under the theme Violence in the Caribbean: “A Public Health Crisis” from Thursday 25-Saturday 27 April, 2024 at The Royalton.

This conference is the largest health research conference in the English speaking Caribbean. It facilitates and promotes the communication and sharing of research and science among health related professionals and policy makers. It also facilitates the development of collaborations among researchers and health related stakeholders.

The Ministry of Health works to strengthen the research culture locally and ensure evidenced based decision making. This provides an excellent opportunity to build capacity among our local health professionals.
