Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) helped Dominica in delivering coronavirus vaccines. Dominica helped deepen and enhance this strategy, as well as make significant systemic changes that place primary health care at the heart of the country's efforts to improve health and well-being. With the help of PAHO, Dominica was able to contain the infection of coronavirus. In November 2021, PAHO donated two buses, vaccine carriers, nebulizers & several other medical supplies to the country. The supplies also included 20 oxygen tanks to strengthen the country's response to the COVID-19 pandemic. PAHO also helped Dominica in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria in 2017 and assisted in the prevention of any viral outbreaks during the catastrophe.Monika Walker is an experienced journalist specializing in global political developments and international relations.
