 PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad - The Caribbean may soon see a new cadre of leaders emerge in the field of health. This is the promise of the Caribbean Health Leadership Institute (CHLI), a subsidiary of The University of the West Indies (UWI).
CHLI is expected to enhance the skills and effectiveness of Caribbean leaders in the Caribbean health sector, including persons leading HIV/AIDS programs. On Friday 6th March, 2009, the Institute graduated its first cohort in a videoconference ceremony broadcast simultaneously throughout the Caribbean.
The CHLI graduation took place in five synchronised ceremonies at the School of Clinical Medicine and Research (Bahamas), as well as UWI Campuses in Mona (Jamaica) and Cave Hill (Barbados), the UWI Open Campus and the UWI telehealth facility in the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex, Mt Hope. CHLI (pronounced ch-lee) is expected to interface with postgraduate academic leadership programmes at UWI.

These guidelines for tuberculosis (TB)prevention, treatment, care, and control are intended to:
• Reemphasize and underscore the importance of full implementation of the Stop TB Strategy to TB prevention and control efforts in the Caribbean
• Serve as a reference document for CAREC member countries to demonstrate where the International Standards for TB Care can support National TB Programme (NTP) guidelines
• Highlight areas where NTPs and National HIV/AIDs Programmes (NAP) can collaborate to improve diagnosis, treatment and management of patients with TB, HIV and TB/HIV co-infection
• Provide practical recommendations and useful tools that can be adapted to meet the diversity of our Caribbean NTPs
