Bahamas WHO FCTC Needs Assessment

Overview

The Bahamas signed the WHO FCTC on 29 June 2004 and ratified it on 3 November 2009. The Government of The Bahamas through its Ministry of Health and Wellness (MoHW) requested that the Convention Secretariat conduct a Needs Assessment exercise in The Bahamas to track progress of implementation of the WHO FCTC, identify gaps and challenges, and provide recommendations. 

Pursuantly, a needs assessment mission was undertaken in The Bahamas over the period 6-9 May 2024. The Needs Assessment highlighted the key elements that need to materialise to enable The Bahamas to fully meet its obligations under the WHO FCTC.
