Bahamas kicked off its PAHO centennial activities with a balloon-festooned celebration at a Nassau resort, attended by Bahamas Governor General Dame Ivy Dumont and Minister of Health Ronald Knowles, along with several former ministers of Health and a multigenerational gathering of Bahamian citizens. A highlight of the ceremony was the presentation of the Caribbean Centennial Quilt, which has also been featured at PAHO 100 events in Antigua, Grenada, Montserrat, St. Lucia, St. Vincent, and Trinidad and Tobago. It will travel to other Caribbean destinations during the coming months.
