· Caribbean Cooperation in Health (CCH)

Programme activities are guided by the strategic health priorities of the Community outlined in the Caribbean Cooperation in Health (CCH) Health Initiative. First outlined in 1984, it provides a framework for CARICOM Member States to efficiently and effectively address common health and development challenges.

This flagship framework is supported through the governance structure of a Secretariat with support from a technical advisory body and implementation by Member States, coordinated by the CARICOM Secretariat.
