Linyon Demokratik Seselwa salutes all our health workers for their dedication and resilience, often under difficult conditions. They deserve more than recognition; they deserve support, stability, and leadership they can trust. We call for greater transparency and accountability in the way health decisions are taken and communicated to both health workers and the public.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRestoring trust in science and in our public health institutions requires openness, consistency, and genuine engagement. The health of our nation must never be undermined by indecision or lack of direction. Seychelles deserves a health system that is decisively led, adequately resourced, and firmly anchored in science and evidence. The Linyon Demokratik Seselwa party calls for urgent, science-based reforms to strengthen our health system, invest in our workforce, and rebuild public confidence through accountable leadership.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday, we stand with our health workers. Today, we stand with science.
