This paper aims to describe different aspects of critical care in the FTA. For this, we reviewed official 25 information about population size and intensive care unit (ICU) bed capacity in the FTA and literature on FTA ICU specificities. Persons living in or visiting the FTA are exposed to specific risks, mainly severe road traffic 26 injuries, envenoming, stab or ballistic wounds, and emergent tropical infectious diseases. These diseases may 27 require specific knowledge and critical care management. However, there are not enough ICU beds in the FTA. 28 Indeed, there are 7.2 ICU beds/100 000 population in Guadeloupe, 7.2 in Martinique, and 4.5 in French Gui- 29 ana. In addition, seriously ill patients in remote areas regularly have to be transferred, most often by helicopter, 30 resulting in a delay in admission to intensive care.

  • Caribbean Legislators Gather at Parlamericas Meeting in Saint Lucia to Raise Awareness About Gender-Based Political Harassment
    Caribbean legislators gather at ParlAmericas meeting in Saint Lucia to raise awareness about gender-based political harassment For immediate release Castries, Saint Lucia, January 25, 2016 From January 26 to 27, legislators from more than 10 countries across the Caribbean and other Anglophone countries of the Americas will convene in Castries to exchange experiences and strategies to overcome the problem of gender-based political harassment. This inter- parliamentary meeting, titled Gender-based Political Harassment: Building Awareness in Parliaments, is organized by the Group of Women Parliamentarians of ParlAmericas and is being hosted by the Government of Saint Lucia and presiding officers the Honourable Peter I. Foster, Speaker of the House of Assembly and the Honourable Claudius J. Francis, President of the Senate. The Honourable Alvina Reynolds, Minister responsible for Gender Relations, will also give remarks at the inauguration. ParlAmericas and the Saint Lucian delegation of former and current parliamentarians will welcome representatives of the legislatures of Antigua and Barbuda, The Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Canada, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, Saint Kitts and Nevis, and Trinidad and Tobago. The delegates will be joined by subject matter experts from UN Women, the Inter- American Commission of Women of the Organization of American States, the Caribbean Institute of Women in Leadership, and the University of the West Indies. Political harassment, the topic being undertaken, refers to intimidation or violence targeting women active in public life, in ways which are both politically motivated and based on gender. In the context of parliamentary politics, this can be manifested as sexist language, biased media coverage, pressure to renounce elected office, and other forms of aggression.
