“For example, the World Diabetes Foundation has funded the “OECS Diabetes Prevention and Care” project to US$400,000 and has recently approved a further US$379,000 for a new project to address diabetes in disasters” said Dr. Radix.

“In addition the Global Fund has approved a further US$3.3 mil from 2019-2022 for the OECS HIV TB elimination project”

“We recognise our key partners of CARPHA and PAHO and are pleased to announce deeper cooperation between the OECS and the French Territories is also occurring with Martinique as a Member.

“This has afforded OECS Member States access to new opportunities including the new INTERREG CARES project which  has a total value of € 6.4 million Euros.

“The project which was recently launched will focus on capacity building, improving access to services in French territories, and harmonization of protocols and systems across Member States to ensure better coordination of care” said Dr. Radix.
