Great Bay (GIS):--- On September 30, Minister of Health Cornelius de Weever met with members of the Howard University Hospital (HUH) Medical Association to discuss their pending symposium on St. Maarten.
The HUH Medical Association, a group of Medical professions who did their studies and/or internships at Howard University Hospital, will be held early next year. This event will mark their 19th year.
"The decision to hold the meeting on St. Maarten," said Marilyn McPherson Corder, chairman of the association, "from the warm reception from Government and the local medical doctors and establishment to the shopping and the beautiful beaches. St. Maarten has a lot of offer."
Some of the other locations that the association held their symposium are: Antigua, Barbados, US Virgin Islands, Brazil, among other destinations.
Minister De Weever said that it was a pleasure to host this distinguished group. We welcome you and don't hesitate to call us. I also urge the local medical professionals on the island to attend this workshop, and anyone else who is interested in the field of medicine, in its many forms.
The theme this year is: "Old problems, New Challenges, Issues Confronting Today's Health Care Providers."
