Over the past 3 years, 1,500 healthcare professionals in the Caribbean have received further training in acute care in collaboration with Amsterdam UMC Academy. This unique program was created through a collaboration 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.
Since 2021, nearly 1,500 healthcare professionals, including paramedics and nurses, have received acute care training within the CARIBHA project. The training program enables the island to adequately respond to emergency care situations, such as during a pandemic. The program includes a range of task-oriented training specifically for COVID-19 care, Basic Acute Care Training (BAZ), Clinical Reasoning and further training for ER, IC, CCU nurses, diabetes nurses and nurse anesthetists.
The CARIBHA project was launched during the COVID-19 pandemic at the request of the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sports and has received a subsidy of over €2 million. Through close collaboration between hospitals in Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao, Sint Eustatius, Sint Maarten and Saba and the Amsterdam UMC Academy, the quality of care and the professional development and employability of healthcare providers in the Caribbean region have been significantly improved.
