United States has announced US$6 million in health support to advance U.S. health priorities in Trinidad and Tobago.
According to a statement from the U.S. Embassy, the funds will be used by the Health Ministry to enhance the health and safety of both countries by preventing, detecting, and containing public health threats.
This support will be for the next two years and is part of the America First Global Health Strategy.
It also comes as HIV/AIDS funding under the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief enters a planned two-year drawdown period.
Chargé d’Affaires Charlie J. Franta said, “The United States remains committed to working with Trinidad and Tobago to improve the public health and well-being of the people of the United States and Trinidad and Tobago. We look forward to our continued partnership with the Ministry of Health as we endeavor to improve the quality of life of the people of our great nations.”
