CARPHA, PAHO and The French Development Agency Collaborate to Strengthen Surveillance of NCDs

In the Caribbean, one in every five men and one in every six women have a probability of dying between 30-70 years from Non-communicable Diseases (NCDs). In light of this, strengthening regional surveillance, monitoring and reporting of NCDs, including risk factors, policies and programmes in the Caribbean, is critical and the way forward.

Participants from 14 CARPHA Member States, CARICOM, Public Health Agency Canada (PHAC), US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and others were provided with an overview of the proposed Regional Integrated Surveillance System Strategy. CARPHA also shared results and key findings of the assessment of NCD Surveillance Systems in select CARPHA Member States before holding discussions to reach a consensus on the Regional NCD Surveillance System.

Note: With funding from the AFD, this is an ongoing body of work from January 2020 to September 2022
under the project โ€œStrengthening Strategic Intelligence and Partnership Approaches to Prevent and
Control NCDs and Strengthen Regional Health Security in the Caribbeanโ€.

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.
