The Caribbean Pub­lic Health Agency (CARPHA) is ob­serv­ing its 10-year an­niver­sary since be­com­ing the new sin­gle re­gion­al pub­lic health agency for the Caribbean when it was legal­ly es­tab­lished in Ju­ly 2011. How­ev­er, the agency be­gan its op­er­a­tions in 2013, af­ter an In­ter­gov­ern­men­tal Agree­ment was signed by the Caribbean Com­mu­ni­ty (CARI­COM) Mem­ber States.

CARPHA’s Ex­ec­u­tive Di­rec­tor, Dr. Joy St. John, said, “We were es­tab­lished to be the guardian of the Caribbean Com­mu­ni­ty’s pub­lic health. Much was ex­pect­ed of us for the priv­i­lege of that po­si­tion of trust. I am so proud that 10 years lat­er, CARPHA is still here and still serv­ing our Mem­ber States. For Caribbean Pub­lic Health Day, we want to take this time to re­flect on all we have learnt.

It is won­der­ful that there are achieve­ments that have been recog­nised. More im­por­tant­ly, CARPHA has found many ways to add val­ue in Caribbean pub­lic health and health se­cu­ri­ty. We are de­ter­mined to en­sure the pub­lic health good of all Caribbean peo­ple.”
