Annual Report 2025: Trinidad and Tobago, Aruba, Curaçao, Sint Maarten, Bonaire, Saba, and Sint Eustatius

The annual reports of the PAHO/WHO country offices present a summary of the main results achieved with the technical cooperation of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) in each of the Member States of the Region of the Americas in 2025. In addition to the most relevant achievements obtained together with governments and other key partners, they include stories from the field that tangibly illustrate progress and challenges in the area of health. 

The reports reflect PAHO’s sustained commitment to strengthening health systems and responding to national priorities. They are also a fundamental tool for accountability and transparency, promoting policy dialogue, and demonstrating the added value that PAHO offers in the countries of the Region. 

By highlighting PAHO’s contributions to the results achieved, the reports also highlight the impact of multi-stakeholder collaboration and support resource mobilization in line with the Organization’s strategic frameworks and each country’s planning and monitoring processes. 

These reports, prepared for national authorities and other strategic partners, shed light on joint efforts at the national and local levels, and help to strengthen a shared commitment to health in the Region of the Americas. 

In Trinidad and Tobago, PAHO supported the Better Care for NCDs initiative by strengthening primary care pathways for hypertension and cardiovascular risk through the HEARTS initiative. The Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative reinforced national efforts to promote healthier starts for mothers and newborns, while mental health services expanded through bolstered rights-based approaches. Under the Elimination Initiative, cooperation supported equitable immunization coverage, boosting case management of sexually transmitted infections, promoted responsible antibiotic use, and sustained progress toward elimination of mother-to-child transmission and maternal and neonatal tetanus goals. Efforts to maintain Trinidad and Tobago’s malaria-free status and improve early detection of Hansen’s disease were reinforced. Technical support also advanced digital health, telehealth, and robotics, while climate action progressed toward practical adaptation planning.
