The Caribbean Public Health Agency (CARPHA) is

The creation of the new Caribbean Public Health Agency (CARPHA) was approved by the Caribbean Heads of Government in March 2010. CARPHA will replace and build on the work of the Caribbean Community’s five Regional Health Institutions (RHIs), following a phased transition period commencing in December 2010.

CARPHA's purpose is to draw together and build on public health knowledge and expertise across the Caribbean, preventing duplication of effort and resources. This will facilitate a coordinated approach to public health issues including managing the risk of disease outbreaks in the Caribbean region.

Building on the successes achieved by the disease model, CARPHA will take a people-centred approach to Public Health.
