Dr Damian Cohall, UWI Dean of the Faculty of Medical Sciences, described the partnership as a significant step in building the region’s capacity for health research.

“EarlyHealth will not only support upgrades to our labs and help with regulatory training, but also give our researchers more tools to conduct studies that matter to our people,” Cohall said.
