The Caribbean is in the midst of a childhood obesity epidemic. Statistics show at least one in every five children carries unhealthy weight and is at risk of developing non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. To address this concern, the Caribbean Public Health Agency (CARPHA), in collaboration with the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Secretariat and the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) will convene a Regional High Level Meeting to Develop a Roadmap on Multi-sectoral Action to Prevent Childhood Obesity through Improved Food and Nutrition Security.
