By Zoila Palma Gonzalez: On March 15, 2023, Belize hosted the 26th Executive Board meeting of the Caribbean Public Health Agency (CARPHA).

Minister of Health and Wellness, Kevin Bernard currently chairs the Executive Board of CARPHA and hosted the meeting.

The Caribbean Public Health Agency is a regional public health agency headquartered in Trinidad and Tobago which was established by CARICOM leaders in July 2011 and began operation in 2013.

The meeting was composed of the board members who had a range of tedious subjects, such as providing updates on the minutes of the 25th executive board meeting, discussions on the ongoing policy initiatives within the Corporate Services Department for the overall improvement of Agency-wide performance, and on the COVID-19 pandemic providing an overview of CARPHA’s systems and mechanism employed to address the response.

“Minister Bernard was pleased to have hosted a meeting of this significance and was humbled to have welcomed Dr. Joy St.John Executive Director of CARPHA to Belize for the first time,” the Ministry noted.

Bernard also welcomed to Belize, Shaun D. Malcolm Minister of Health, Turks & Caicos Islands and Cassani Laville Minister of Health, Dominica.

The Ministry says that it is committed in working with our regional partners by unifying approaches and experiences that aims to optimize the health of all people, as we continue to grow as a nation.
