  • Health in the Americas 2007: Antigua and Barbuda - As a health agency, the Pan American Health Organization’s core discipline is epidemiology, which enables the measurement, definition, and comparison of health problems and conditions and their distribution from the perspectives of population, geography, and time. This publication on Antigua and Barbuda addresses the issue of health as a human right, taking into account both the individual and community contexts, and examines various critical determinants of health, including those of a biological, social, cultural, economic, and political nature. That examination reveals the existence of gaps, disparities, and inequities that persist in Antigua and Barbuda, especially those related to access to basic services, health, nutrition, housing, and adequate living conditions as well as to the lack of opportunities for human development—all of which contribute to the greater vulnerability to diseases and health risks of some population groups. [Adapted from the preface of Health in the Americas 2007]
  • Health Systems and Services Profile of Antigua and Barbuda - This 2001 report of the Pan American Health Organization reports on such health-related issues as health system services and resources, and the leading causes of mortality.
