It is my pleasure to welcome you to the 15th Annual Cayman Islands Health Care Conference. The Ministry of Health & Wellness understands the importance of this conference, and what it provides to both professionals and private citizens, and we are grateful that every year you continue to make this a success via your participation.
Our conference theme this year is The Healthcare Ecosystem: Local, Global, Public, Private. As we all know, health does not exist in a vacuum: it is influenced by our environment, economy, education, living conditions, and individual lifestyle factors- among many other things. Within this context and interconnectivity, healthcare has its very own ecosystem that operates at local, national and global levels and across private, public and the NGO sectors.
I hope that you will enjoy the conference and go away with a better understanding of the many factors that influence our health. – Hon. Sabrina Turner, MP, Minister for Health & Wellness
