Public Health 101
Is there a public health crisis in the Caribbean?
The 21st century has brought new opportunities and challenges for the health of the populations in the Caribbean region whose countries are linked by geography, history, and culture. The public health successes seen in the CARICOM countries are related to the existing regional integration process because efforts important for the well-being of all countries can be driven at the regional level. The relative political stability of most of the countries in the CARICOM region has also provided a foundation to facilitate some of these successes.
