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 The Bahamas, PAHO’s technical cooperation supported key achievements that included expansion of the Perinatal Information System Plus, strengthening infection prevention and control, and the passing of the Health Promotion and Wellness Bill. In Turks and Caicos Islands, PAHO’s efforts focused on reinforcing core public health functions and emergency preparedness. Both The Bahamas and Turks and Caicos Islands advanced toward validation of the elimination of mother-to-child transmission of HIV, demonstrating sustained commitment to equity and quality care.
