Hope, the Caribbean Centre for Health Systems Research and Development (CCHSRD) under the Faculty of Medical Sciences and its collaborators are hosting a panel discussion. This initiative’s purpose is to pilot the World Health Organisation’s checklist for institutionalizing Evidence-Informed Policymaking (EIPM) in Trinidad and Tobago.

−       Ms. Tanja Kuchenmuller, WHO

−       Dr. Mukdarut Bangpan, University College London

−       Prof. Sandy Oliver, University College London

−       Prof. Donald Simeon, CCHRSD, FMS, The UWI St. Augustine
