Over the past 3 years, 1,500 medical professionals in the Caribbean have received further training in acute care in collaboration with Amsterdam UMC Academy. This unique program was created in partnership between the Dutch Caribbean Hospital Association (DCHA), Amsterdam UMC Academy and the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sports (VWS). In addition, hospital trainers have developed plans to make the collaboration and training sustainable.
Within the CARIBHA project, nearly 1,500 health workers, including paramedics and nurses, have been trained in emergency care since 2021. The training program enables the islands to adequately respond to emergency care situations, such as during a pandemic. The program includes a full range of task-oriented training specifically for Covid care, Basic Emergency Care Training (BAZ), clinical reasoning and further training for ER, IC, CCU nurses, diabetes nurses and anesthesia nurses.
The CARIBHA project was launched during the COVID-19 pandemic at the request of the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sports and has received over €2 million in subsidies. Through close collaboration between hospitals in Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao, St. Eustatius, Sint Maarten and Saba and the Amsterdam Institute of Medicine, the quality of healthcare in the Caribbean, as well as the professional development and employability of healthcare providers, has been significantly improved.
