Basic Information About St. Lucia For a very complete look at general statistics look to the World Factbook http://www.odci.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/st.html Health Information (1) The following information is by the Federal Research Division of the Library of Congress under the Country Studies/Area Handbook Program. As it is a temporary on-line searchable source it is not possible to bookmark or hyperlink to the site. Below is some of the information from the country study. In an attempt to reach the entire population with some form of health care service, the Ministry of Health adopted a plan to train health care workers in various types of technical services to assist doctors and nurses with health care delivery. There were four types of health care representatives: community health aides, environmental health aides, family nurse practitioners, and community nutrition officers. As was evident in the structure of the health care system, the community health programs provided educational and preventive services, as well as actual hands-on health care. It was hoped that many health problems could be avoided by educating the population on nutrition, hygiene, and sanitation habits.
