AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoRegional Health Systems: At an OECS health ministers’ meeting in Montserrat on October 26, Director General Didacus Jules urged Caribbean governments to set their own health priorities instead of relying on fragmented donor-funded projects. He said short-term funding can leave ministries burdened with reporting, equipment without maintenance and trained staff recruited elsewhere. The meeting’s theme, strengthening regional health systems through strategic partnerships, reflects the need for islands to work together on shared health challenges. Montserrat’s rebuilding of health services after the volcanic disaster was held up as a lesson in regional resilience.
