GREAT BAY(DCOMM):---- The regional desk-top simulation exercise Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) that took place July 13 and 14, was part of preparation efforts to prevent and manage potential EVD cases in the Caribbean Region.
The Caribbean Public Health Agency (CARPHA), in collaboration with the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Implementation Agency for Crime and Security (IMPACS), hosted the EVD exercise code named ‘Hummingbird.’
Chief Medical Officers (CMOs) predominantly acted as the national focal point for the exercise, but received support from relevant stakeholders within their countries.
