Caribbean Heads of Government at the 28th Heads of Government Meeting in Barbados have been evaluating the issues of functional cooperation as one of the main foundation pillars on which the community pursues its integration process.

Since health and social development is one of the subject areas of success in functional cooperation, the Report, presented by St. Kitts and Nevis‘ Prime Minister Hon. Dr. Denzil L. Douglas, was as a result of a commitment given during the last CARICOM Inter-Sessional.
