From Zackery Aleong, HAE Trinidad & Tobago

From January to April 2026, efforts were primarily focused on strengthening the foundation for HAE activities locally. This included outreach to students and young professionals, initial discussions with healthcare stakeholders, and planning for awareness initiatives. Emphasis was placed on building interest in HAE’s mission and identifying opportunities for collaboration within the community.

Looking ahead to the remainder of 2026, my goal as an HAE leader is to expand engagement by organizing educational activities, increasing awareness of public health issues, and fostering partnerships with medical students and healthcare institutions. I also aim to establish a more structured presence locally through consistent outreach and small-scale events.

For hae day :-) on May 16, plans include leveraging social media platforms to further spread awareness and encourage participation.
