The 2023 National Health Research Conference will feature over 100 research papers (oral and poster presentations) on COVID-19 and Emerging Diseases, Chronic Non-Communicable Diseases, Clinical/Laboratory Studies, Mental Health and more. This is an annual conference hosted by an Inter-Institution Planning Committee, comprising the Ministry of Health Trinidad and Tobago; Faculty of Medical Sciences & Caribbean Centre for Health Systems Research and Development, The University of the West Indies; The University of Trinidad and Tobago; The University of the Southern Caribbean; and Regional Health Authorities.

The theme of the 2023 Conference is ‘Healthcare for the Future: Emerging Threats and Sustainable Solutions’, which is especially relevant as we anticipate new/reoccurring diseases following the 2020-2022 pandemic. This Conference enables the dissemination of research evidence on the health priorities of Trinidad and Tobago, as well as the development of evidence-informed policy and programming, aimed at improving the health outcomes of the population.
