Speaking at the Summit, The Duchess said:
“The treatment of avoidable blindness is as imperative as any other health challenge… if treated with low cost and effective interventions the rewards are huge.”

As my wife and I depart the Caribbean, we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all the people of The Bahamas, Guyana, and Antigua and Barbuda for the warmth of their welcome and the many kindnesses they have shown us throughout this tour.
After three nations, four speeches, nine days, over 40 different engagements and countless hands shaken in firm friendship, I return home with so many treasured memories…and one slightly damp suit!
