Central Board of Health recognises Women for Outstanding Service in Public Health
The Central Board of Health recently hosted a special recognition ceremony honouring the dedicated women who have contributed years of committed service in the field of public health.
Women continue to play a vital role in strengthening public health systems, serving as frontline workers, leaders, educators, and key contributors to policy development and community outreach. Their work spans critical areas such as maternal and child health, infectious disease prevention, environmental health, and health education. Through both direct service and behind-the-scenes support, they have consistently contributed to improved health outcomes and stronger, more resilient communities.
The ceremony marked the first time the Central Board of Health formally recognised women within the public health sector in this manner, highlighting their long-standing commitment, professionalism, and impact on national health delivery.
Present at the simple but significant event were the Chairman of Central Board of Health, Chief Medical Officer Dr Narine Singh and Secretary of the Board, Juanita Johnson, accompanied by the Director of Climate Change and Environmental,Health Nayan Persaud, who all extended appreciation to the honourees for their dedicated service and continued contribution to the sector.
The initiative reflects the Board’s ongoing commitment to acknowledging excellence within the workforce and encouraging continued dedication to the advancement of public health.
