Trinidad (Trinidad Express) -Caribbean countries, especially TT and Guyana, were today warned that they need to be mindful of their country’s economic challenges where there is a mass migration from Venezuela.
Addressing a two-day meeting hosted by PANCAP (Pan Caribbean Partnership Against HIV and AIDS), Derick Springer, Director for PANCAP said the meeting is aimed to provide guidance.
The meeting is to finalise guidance to countries for operationalising the regional framework on migrant health and rights held at the Hyatt Regency, Port of Spain.
“The Minister of Health’s announcement could not be more timely as a pivotal aspect of the meeting was the input provided by participants for finalising a guidance document on how to implement the framework on migrant health and rights within country context.
“The objectives of the meeting are to share findings of a desk review on models, guidance for operationalising a framework on migrants health and rights, and validate the findings of an assessment of the needs of countries’ health systems to provide service for migrants.”
