Webinar: Caribbean Regional Stakeholder Meeting on the 4th UN High-Level Meeting on NCDs and Mental Health
On Wednesday 30 July 2025, the Healthy Caribbean Coalition, in partnership with the Pan American Health Organisation, convened a virtual Caribbean Regional Stakeholder Meeting in support of the 4th UN High-Level Meeting (HLM4) on Non-communicable Diseases (NCDs) including Mental Health. This timely discussion also marked the 18th anniversary of the landmark 2007 Port of Spain Declaration on NCDs.
With over 200 participants from civil society, government, regional institutions, and global partners, the webinar fostered rich dialogue around the Caribbean’s progress in tackling NCDs, and the urgent need for renewed leadership and bold action to meet 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.
The webinar covered the following objectives:
- Reflect on progress on NCDs in the Caribbean since the 2007 Port of Spain Declaration, including key achievements, challenges, and lessons learned.
- Explored NCD priorities and strategies needed within CARICOM to accelerate meaningful action on NCDs – actions which prevent new NCDs and improve the lives of people living with NCDs in lead up to and beyond the HLM4.
