Caribbean public health

Caribbean public health focuses on preventing disease, promoting wellness, and improving healthcare systems across the islands. It addresses issues like infectious diseases (e.g., dengue, Zika), non-communicable conditions (such as diabetes and heart disease), and health disparities. Efforts include vaccination programs, health education, improving access to medical services, and responding to emergencies like hurricanes and pandemics. The goal is to enhance the overall health of communities, reduce health inequalities, and build resilient health systems that can respond effectively to local challenges.
