Nassau, The Bahamas - Sept. 30th, 2023
The Ministry of Health and Wellness, PAHO/WHO, the Healthy Bahamas Coalition, and the Wellness Unit partnered to celebrate Caribbean Wellness Day and Wellness Week in the Americas 2023.
To observe Wellness Week, the collaborators hosted daily webinars that focused on various topics including mental health, tobacco, alcohol, NCDs and nutrition. Attendees were engaged and look forward to future sessions.
Caribbean Wellness Day began with an early morning fun run and walk which was followed by hours of wellness activities. From Yoga to HIIT training to Karate, participants moved for better health at Arawak Cay, one of The Bahamas’ cultural centres. Participants received healthy goody bags which included a t-shirt and fresh fruits.
Through the community’s support, it was evident that we can achieve a healthier Bahamas.
