This grant, offered by CARPHA, aims to bolster public health security in the Caribbean by enhancing regional capabilities for disease prevention, detection, and response. The primary objectives are to strengthen communicable disease surveillance mechanisms, improve diagnostic testing capacity, and elevate preparedness and response capabilities for public health events. Key outcomes include developing national and regional capacity to analyze and link epidemiological and laboratory data for tracking disease spread, improving laboratory effectiveness for diagnosing COVID-19 and other diseases, and strengthening outbreak response coordination. This initiative will also enhance CARPHA’s ability to provide crucial technical assistance, including rapid response teams, ensuring a more robust health security infrastructure across the region.
