Minister of Health Senator Dr The Most Honourable Jerome Walcott, said that the private sector had a major role to play in incidences of NCDs in small islands such as Barbados.

As he gave his address at the opening day of the Small Island Developing States (SIDS) high-level technical meeting on Non- Communicable Diseases (NCDs) and mental health, organised by the Pan American Health Organisation and the World Health Organisation, the minister said commercial determinants of health and trade are also important drivers of NCDs in SIDS and Government intervention is part of his administration’s attack on incidences of non-communicable diseases.
