These individuals work tirelessly and provide much needed \u2018boots on the ground\u2019 support when called upon by their countries,\u201d. Dr. Boodram added, \u201cIn 2025, we are forming a network of CR-FELTP graduates that can be deployed rapidly to assist other countries facing public health emergencies or to assist in the recovery process following the aftermath of storms and hurricanes\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Horace Cox, Directory, Surveillance, Disease Prevention and Control, CARPHA added that capacity building through workforce training is an ongoing process. \u201cThe Caribbean needs a continuous supply of skilled public health professionals to meet the various public health priorities of the region. These range from prevention and control of communicable or infectious diseases, non-communicable or chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes, and even health threats associated with climate change\u201d.
