NEW ENERGY EVENTS, alongside co-convener and title Sponsor KPMG Islands Group, will be hosting the first KPMG Caribbean Healthcare Summit CariHealth 2026 – a new summit dedicated to advancing health system delivery, investment and reform across the Caribbean, organisers said.
CariHealth 2026 is being developed in collaboration with KPMG’s global center of excellence for island healthcare, reflecting the firm’s commitment to advancing healthcare transformation across island jurisdictions worldwide.
The inaugural edition will take place on September 17, 2026, at the Ritz-Carlton Coconut Grove, Miami, and targets health ministers, hospital administrators, institutional investors, multi-laterals, and development finance institutions to drive the policy, financing, and operational decisions needed to build more resilient, accessible, and climate-ready health systems.
“Addressing the pressure to Modernize, Caribbean island health systems face growing pressure to modernize: to better serve populations, withstand intensifying climate events, and close persistent gaps in access and equity. Working against a backdrop of tightening fiscal constraints and chronic workforce and supply chain restrictions, creative solutions are required to reshape the region’s approach to care,” the organisers said in a release.
At the heart of this transformation are such questions as: How can island governments unlock sustainable financing pathways to Universal Health Coverage? What does it take to build climate-resilient health infrastructure? How can digital health and telemedicine close persistent gaps in access and equity? And how can the region address the workforce shortages and pharmaceutical supply chain vulnerabilities that undermine care delivery every day?
While those who represent capital and political will are increasingly aligned, a dedicated forum where they meet the policymakers and operators who can put them to work has not existed – until now.
For delegates in Miami for the 10th annual Caribbean Infrastructure Forum (CARIF) , which concludes the day prior, CariHealth is said to offer a direct continuation of the regional conversation into one of the Caribbean’s most critical, and often underdeveloped, sectors.
New Energy Events is named as an entity that produces conferences that serves the energy transition and infrastructure development across the Americas, while CariHealth is said to be the Caribbean’s new dedicated platform for the policy, infrastructure, and capital decisions shaping the region’s health systems.
