The CARICOM Caribbean is a melting pot of cultures, languages and customs and as a result, the Caribbean Public Health Agency is home to the Caribbean interpretation of the World Health Organization’s dictates for health policies and public health research.
The CARICOM region is known globally for its landmark Port of Spain Declaration “Uniting to stop the epidemic of chronic NCDs”. Even then, this was a demonstration of partnership with the Heads of Government of CARICOM.
Through this two-hour session, you will journey with us to understand how CARPHA has leveraged partnerships in battling the non-communicable disease burden in CARICOM. It is an ongoing battle but there have been many innovations, best practices and lessons learned.
