Dr. Hospadeles says CARPHA had met with members of the health sector in the region some months ago.
He notes that resource constraints for some Caribbean countries can be a challenge to their preparedness.
According to Dr. Hospedales, should Ebola reach the Caribbean, it would not have the same impact as it’s having on West Africa.
