"This book should be essential reading not only for health practitioners of all stripes but also for those who are interested and involved in the welfare and well-being of the Caribbean people and the extent to which they address the existential problems they face as Small Island Developing States- climate change, pandemics and chronic non communicable diseases." – Sir George Alleyne, former United Nations Secretary-General's Special Envoy for HIV/AIDS in the Caribbean
