On Thursday, Dec. 7, the Caribbean Public Well being Company (CARPHA) might be conducting a Regional stage Outbreak Simulation Train (SimEx) with its Member States, and Regional Companies.
“A regional SimEx is extraordinarily useful in emphasising the integrity of the Area’s current response mechanisms, whereas revealing strengths and any weaknesses. This may then information related individuals in reinforcing the mechanisms and addressing any points which can be famous throughout the train,” said Dr Pleasure St. John, CARPHA Government Director.
“Train Elkhorn” is a tabletop train carried out remotely by digital connection and can deal with a single outbreak. This method will utilise a sensible, scripted situation to evaluate plans, insurance policies and different preparedness measures, by way of in-country group discussions and utilising problem-solving abilities.
Over 36 individuals representing Ministries of Well being, and different authorities companies, regional organisations, and venture companions, will attend the train.

Total, this coaching train will present individuals the chance to assessment response procedures and check their nations’ established coordination and decision-making processes inside a sensible situation. Moreover, the train would search to strengthen multisectoral collaboration and integrative surveillance in direction of attaining resilient and responsive mechanisms.
The Regional Simulation Train was developed as a deliverable of the Organisation of Japanese Caribbean States (OECS) Regional Well being Venture (P168539). The venture by way of funding by the World Financial institution was carried out throughout 4 CARPHA Member States (Dominica, Grenada, Saint Lucia, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines) and by CARPHA and the OECS Fee. This Simulation Train is said to Element 2, subcomponent 2.2.1.6 – Simulation Train on responding to public well being emergencies.
