Belize, Jamaica and St Vincent and the Grenadines have made a huge health break though, being the latest countries in the Americas to eliminate mother to child transmission of HIV and Syphilis, concretized by a certification from the World Health Organization (WHO). This was announced by CARICOM on May 8.
Other countries in the Americas that have made the accomplishment are Cuba in 2015, making history as the first in the world to do so, followed by Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Bermuda, Cayman Islands, Montserrat and St. Kitts and Nevis, all in 2017, and in 2020 Dominica.
