The Caribbean’s healthcare sector is at a turning point, and the inaugural KPMG Caribbean Healthcare Summit (CariHealth 2026) is where stakeholders are showing up to shape what comes next.⁠

Presented by New Energy Events, CariHealth is a one-day, high-impact gathering of health ministers, hospital CEOs, investors, multilaterals, and operators - people who are actually building and financing systems across the region.

The market realities are clear: hurricane seasons expose infrastructure gaps, pharmaceutical supply chains remain fragile, and digital health adoption is lagging. But the opportunity is real. Paths are being charted towards delivery of effective universal health coverage, partners are strategizing to address shortfalls in mental health care and equitable access, and efforts to build a more robust workforce are underway.

The program highlights investment opportunities, public-private models tailored to small-island contexts, and real-world strategies for system reform and resilience. With participation from key decision-makers across the public and private sectors, the Summit fosters candid exchange and actionable collaboration, enhanced by curated networking, including roundtables and a poolside reception.

More than just a one-off gathering, the Summit marks the launch of a long-term regional platform to track progress, build partnerships, and sustain momentum for healthcare transformation across the Caribbean.

Secure your place, shape the conversation, and help build future-ready island health systems.
