Eastern Caribbean delegations attend GHLI Forum for Change

Non-communicable diseases continue to be a growing health issue among Eastern Caribbean countries. In an effort to help address diseases such as obesity and diabetes, the Global Health Leadership Institute (GHLI) is hosting delegations from four countries that are part of the Eastern Caribbean Health Outcomes Research Network (ECHORN) at the GHLI Forum for Change from July 6-10 on campus.

 Senior leadership from government, academic institutions, and nongovernmental organizations from the countries of Barbados, Puerto Rico, Trinidad and Tobago, and the U.S. Virgin Islands are at Yale focusing on identifying strategies to ensure the delivery of high quality care for people with non-communicable diseases in the Eastern Caribbean.
