The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) officially inaugurated the Carissa F. Etienne Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) at its Barbados office, a state-of-the-art facility designed to coordinate health emergency preparedness and response across Barbados, the Eastern Caribbean, and the wider Caribbean.<\/p>

\"\"<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis EOC represents a shared commitment to preparedness, resilience, and safeguarding the health and well-being of the people of the Caribbean,\u201d said Dr. Jarbas Barbosa, PAHO Director, via video message at the inauguration. \u201cIt is a living tribute to PAHO Director Emeritus Dr. Carissa Etienne\u2019s vision and unwavering dedication to public health in the Americas.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The establishment of the EOC responds to the region\u2019s vulnerability to emergencies of various origins, including hurricanes and storms, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, outbreaks, and pandemics. Events such as Hurricanes Maria (2017), Irma (2017), Dorian (2019), and Beryl (2024), the eruption of the La Soufri\u00e8re volcano in Saint Vincent (2021), and the COVID-19 pandemic have underscored the need for enhanced coordination and rapid response capabilities.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe COVID-19 pandemic taught us that preparedness cannot wait,\u201d Dr. Barbosa stressed. \u201cWith this Centre now operational\u2014and just in time for the 2025 hurricane season\u2014we are better equipped than ever to act quickly, to save lives, and to build a more resilient future.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"Dr.
Dr. Jerome Walcott, Minister of Health and Wellness of Barbados, welcoming the establishment of the EOC.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBarbados, like many other Caribbean countries, has a long and invaluable relationship with PAHO in the area of emergency response,\u201d said Dr. Jerome Walcott, Minister of Health and Wellness of Barbados, welcoming the establishment of the EOC. \u201cAs the effects of the climate crisis and multi-hazard events become more frequent and complex, a broader, more coordinated response is required,\u201d he added.  Serving 13 countries and territories that face a high level of vulnerability to multiple hazards, the EOC enhances PAHO\u2019s capacity for rapid, equitable responses. Located in Barbados, it acts as a hub for PAHO\u2019s Subregional Health Emergencies Team, collaborating with the PAHO Regional EOC and partners such as Ministries of Health and the United Nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The EOC is designed to address these challenges closer to where they occur, by providing operational support, information management, resource allocation, and surge capacity deployment during emergencies.\u200b<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In non-disaster situations, the EOC will monitor and identify emerging health crises, strengthen integrated event-based surveillance, and serve as a platform for capacity building and operational preparedness. It will also facilitate simulation exercises to ensure readiness for various health emergencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This Emergency Operations Center is a critical and timely investment in the region\u2019s health security. It strengthens our collective capacity to coordinate rapid responses, monitor emerging threats in real time, and provide timely, life-saving support to Ministries of Health and key partners across Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean and by extension the Caribbean,” Dr. Barbosa said.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Barbados\u2019 leadership in public health made it the ideal host. \u201cWe commend Barbados for its exemplary solidarity, consistently offering expertise and resources to neighbors,\u201d Dr. Barbosa noted. \u201cThis Center is not simply about infrastructure \u2014it\u2019s about people, systems, and partnerships brought to life by those who work within it\u2014and those who work alongside it throughout the Caribbean.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Carissa F. Etienne EOC is now operational and ready to support health emergency responses across the Caribbean, ensuring that the region is better equipped to act swiftly and effectively in the face of health crises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
