Last update: 9 hours agoHealthcare Continuity: The Turks and Caicos Government says there will be no healthcare gap as it transitions away from its 2010 InterHealth Canada hospital arrangement, setting up a joint transition committee and promising coverage for staffing, repairs, supplies and interim financing while successor plans are developed. Regional Public Health: CARPHA wrapped up its 11th CariPHLN workshop in Bridgetown, bringing 26 lab directors from across the Caribbean (including TCI) together to strengthen disease detection, surveillance, diagnostic coordination and lab networking for faster public health response.

Regional Leadership: Cayman will host the 2027 Caribbean Overseas Territories Leaders Caucus after leaders met in Bermuda, aligning priorities for the UK Joint Ministerial Council, including health and social care and climate resilience. Governance & Health Systems: A separate TCI policy debate update also points to major infrastructure spending tied to broader borrowing plans that include healthcare and climate resilience.
