Hard work and determination are some of the most important attributes to have if you want to succeed, says executive director of Caribbean Public Health Agency (Carpha) Dr Lisa Indar.

Indar holds a PhD, MSc and BSc from UWI and studied multiple disciplines including epidemiology, microbiology and environmental health. She was fortunate to study at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Public Health England and other prestigious international institutes.

Despite her qualifications, she believes self-confidence and being able to deliver are also important.
