Healthy Caribbean Coalition -
Caribbean Charter for Health Promotion
The 13th Meeting of the Ministers
Responsible for Health in the
Caribbean, seized of the relevance of
Health Promotion as an important and
significant process through which the
Caribbean people might assume more
control over and improve their health,
called for the development of a
Caribbean Charter for Health
Promotion.
In fulfillment of that mandate, 125
persons drawn from the health and
other kindred sectors, and
representing the social partners active
in Caribbean life, met in Port of Spain,
Trinidad and Tobago, from the 1st to
the 4th of June 1993 at the First
Caribbean Conference of Health
Promotion.
This cooperative action of Caribbean
people in health is in the tradition of
pervious efforts, declarations and
initiatives in this field. In 1978
Caribbean Ministers Responsible for
Health issued the Declaration on
Health for the Caribbean Community;
in 1986 they launched the Caribbean
Cooperation in Health Initiative as a
joint framework for health action and
gave it further form and direction in
1992 when they accept a set of Goals
and Targets in its priority areas.
