- Caribbean_Public_Health_Agency abstract "The creation of the new Caribbean Public Health Agency (CARPHA) was approved by the Caribbean Heads of Government in March 2010. CARPHA will replace and build on the work of the Caribbean Community’s five Regional Health Institutions (RHIs), following a phased transition period commencing in December 2010 and proposed to end in 2014. The RHI's are: Caribbean Epidemiology Centre (CAREC), the Caribbean Environmental Health Institute (CEHI), the Caribbean Food and Nutrition Institute (CFNI), the Caribbean Health Research Centre (CHRC) and the Caribbean Research and Drug Treatment Laboratory (CRDTL). It is expected that the new agency will be headquartered in Trinidad and Tobago.CARPHA's purpose is to draw together and build on public health knowledge and expertise across the Caribbean,preventing duplication of effort and resources. This will facilitate a coordinated approach to public health issues includingmanaging the risk of disease outbreaks in the Caribbean region. The work to transition from the existing RHIs' to the fully implementation of CARPHA is being supported by CARICOM and PAHO/WHO.
