Saint Lucia is stepping up its efforts against the threat of mpox, which the World Health Organization (WHO) recently declared a global public health emergency.
“In response to WHO’s urgent call for global action, Saint Lucia has proactively established coordinated systems to strengthen surveillance, early detection, and management of potential mpox cases across the island,” declared Chief Medical Officer Dr. Sharon Belmar-George.
In a Health Ministry release, Belmar-George said there is heightened vigilance at all levels, including ports of entry to schools, workplaces, and communities.
The aim is to rapidly identify and isolate cases, provide optimal clinical care, and prevent transmission.
The CMO also disclosed that the Ministry of Health commenced sensitization of healthcare workers from both public and private sectors on August 21, 2024, as part of the mpox health sector preparation.
This week, public health officials will brief key stakeholders, including the Saint Lucia Air and Sea Port Authority, the Tourism Sector, and the Education Sector, on the necessary protocols, including preparation and vaccinations.
The CMO explained that while currently there is no recommendation for mass vaccination, there would be funding to strengthen preparedness and response capabilities.
Saint Lucia can currently conduct mpox testing using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect viral DNA.
However, efforts are also underway to expand testing capacity further.
The Ministry of Health has advised citizens to protect themselves by adopting the following measures:
1.Avoid contact with individuals showing symptoms of mpox, such as unusual rashes, fever, and swollen lymph nodes.
2.Maintain regular hand hygiene by washing with soap and water or using hand sanitizer.
3.If you experience symptoms or have been in contact with someone diagnosed with Mpox, seek medical attention immediately for management and testing.
4.Avoid contact with contaminated materials used by infected individuals.
In addition, the Ministry’s Health Education and Communication Units have completed a mpox Communication Plan to promote accurate information, prevent misinformation, and reduce the stigma associated with the disease.
Nudge has Monkey Pox in his brain.
At least he has a brain to think unlike your low grade PM and his buffoons bowing down to international bodies and rich easterners or colonial oligarchs. A bunch of house slaves doing the bidding of their neocolonial masters. And don’t ask for this lame ass opposite, the other side to the same coin. Fire and brimstone for both sell out parties, all of you’ll bought and paid for. Sing it, Emancipation your self from slavery, none but…..
Fire and brimstone has monkey pox up his ***.
One must be mindful to never argue with a fool. Because a fool will quickly drag you down to his/her level; and once there, will beat you mercilessly with experience.
In this case, the incorrigible fools referenced are: “The Honorable Lucian Highgrade” & the CMO!
The apt adage covering “The Honorable Lucian Highgrade” is: “Its easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.”
I’ll paraphrase Voltaire here in regards to the CMO: “To succeed in the world it is not enough to be stupid, you must also be well-mannered [and not half bad-looking].”
This new mpox crisis was created in the US bioweapons labs around the globe, for the sole purpose of attempting to control and exploit the vast natural resources of the Republic of Congo, and preserve US dollar hegemony in the world. The Covid-19 scam-demic, the Ukraine gambit, and the widespread sanctions have failed to weaken the military & economic rising power of China & Russia over the US empire (see their devastating defeat in Ukraine)!
Military hardware, the only exports from the US & its vassals in Europe, have been exposed as useless (in Ukraine & the Middle East), to the point where nations of the Global South see the empire as a toothless tiger – take note of the Houthis of Yemen, who, without a navy, have successfully defeated the “mighty” US navy for control of traffic on the most important shipping lane in world – the Red Sea access to the Suez canal.
The US Empire has become a laughing stock in the world, particularly by the group formerly known as the Non-aligned Nations. What is it to do?
Simple! Create a new pandemic, even more lethal than Covid-19; loudly claim its origin to be the Republic of Congo; use its influence over UN agencies, specifically WHO (and its cadre of CMO sell-outs around the globe), to institute world-wide lockdowns & business stoppages; then use its “humanitarian” military to occupy Congo under the guise of altruistic sacrifice to save the hapless Congolese from the scourge of mpox!
