The Pan American Health Organization, Regional Office of the World Health Organization (PAHO/WHO), has an established history of technical cooperation in public health with national authorities in The Bahamas and Turks and Caicos Islands. PAHO/WHO is responsive to the countries' public health priorities and aligns technical cooperation to countries towards achieving regional and global health goals. PAHO/WHO helps countries to shape their health services and health research agendas, set norms and standards, evaluate, and implement evidence-based policies and monitor and assess health trends. The organization promotes health care strategies that reach people in their communities to extend health services to all and increase efficiency in the use of resources. PAHOWHO’s relationships are built on effective communications to inform, persuade, and engage our stakeholders, partners and audiences in public health matters.
