Address by the CARICOM Secretary-General at the inauguration ceremony for the second term of office of PAHO Director Dr Carissa F. Etienne


It is truly an honour and a privilege for me today to address this Inauguration Ceremony marking the Second Term of Office of this distinguished daughter of the Caribbean and of Dominica.
As a fellow Dominican, I note with pride that the achievements of Dr. Carissa Etienne over the first five years of her tenure as Director of the Hemisphere’s premier Health Agency have earned her re-election to a second term.
It is clear, Dr. Etienne, that the reward for good work is more hard work! Your accomplishments are to be applauded.
