ABSTRACT
This report summarises the health situation, issues of unit management and perspectives for the way foward. Several emerging diseases pose a threat to the health of the Caribbean people. These include avian influenza and chickungunya, a disease spread by the Aedes aegypti. Measures have been put in place at CAREC and in countries to address the possibility of pandemic influenza. Many of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality have behavioural determinants such as diet and physical activity; alcohol, tobacco and drug use; sexual behaviour; road use behaviour; conflict resolution behaviour; personal and environmental hygiene and health care seeking behaviour. Strategies to reduce morbidity and mortality include personal commitment to a health lifestyle, intersectoral collaboration and policy initiatives of governments. The annual report for the most part describes the work undertaken by the Centre's Divisions. Technical cooperation was provided using several modalities including surveilance, advocacy, policy and norms, dissemination of information,resource mobilization and capacity building.
