ABSTRACT
Nearly 200 people attended the 45th scientific meeting of the Caribbean Health Research Council in Port-of-Spain's Hilton Hotel in April. Opening the event, Trinidad and Tobago's health minister Dr Hamza Rafeek emphasised the importance of essential national health research. He congratulated CHRC on the work it was doing. The minister for Tobago, Dr Morgan Job, gave an address discussing the financing of healthcare. Even wealthy nations were unable to meet the entire cost of providing care, he said. Individuals must be encouraged to take more responsibility for their own health, particularly with regard to behavioral change required to prevent ill-health. Presentations at the conference began with a consideration of the course content, and the delivery of that content, at the three campuses of the medical faculty of the University of the West Indies. Speakers from Barbados, Jamaica, and Trinidad described recent developments and the continuing efforts being made to ensure that doctors were well and appropriately trained (AU)
