Caribbean Moves (CM) is an initiative aimed at reducing the burden of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) in the Caribbean by engaging with a broad cross section of public and private sector organisations to promote and support preventive health behaviours aligned with the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Best Buys for NCD prevention. Currently, NCDs account for 70% of all deaths in the Caribbean and have an economic impact at every level of society. The economic and social costs incurred are simply not sustainable.
