The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), has committed US$750,000 to support programmes of CARPHA over the next 18 months. PAHO and the Caribbean Public Health Agency (CARPHA) signed a subsidiary agreement to improve regional public health, including health security, at the Trinidad Hilton today, June 29, 2022.
Sub-regional Programme Director, PAHO Caribbean, Mr. Dean Chambliss stated, “These agreements not only provide structure to our alliance, but also symbolise the commitment we share to working together to advance public health in the Caribbean region, in support of our Member States and the Caribbean people”.
Mr. Chambliss praised the work of CARPHA and expressed his appreciation for the critical role the Agency plays in regional public health. He said, “Since it began operations in 2013, CARPHA has evolved into the public health leader it is today. Along with enhancing national capacities to deliver public health goods and services and providing laboratory support for disease surveillance to its member states, CARPHA coordinates responses to public health crises in the Caribbean”.
CARPHA Executive Director, Dr. Joy St. John acknowledged and thanked PAHO for its continued support over the last 10 years of operations. She said, “CARPHA looks forward to the continued collaboration with PAHO; as one of its longstanding partners, both as a funding partner and a technical partner in the delivery of care to the citizens and visitors of CARICOM”.
Projects under the CARPHA PAHO work plan for the years 2022 – 2023, which will benefit from funding provided under this subsidiary agreement, include improving access to safe and affordable medicines, the implementation of policy for healthy food environments and strengthening capacities of countries for the surveillance of communicable and non-communicable diseases.
Dr. St. John explained that the CARPHA’s mandate to improve public health to the Region will continue to remain a priority as the Agency continues to align its activities to its strategic objectives and the overall vision of the Caribbean Cooperation in Health.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
