The Turks and Caicos Islands, 9 April 2021. The Vice Premier and Minister of Health, Agriculture, Sports and Human Services of the Turks and Caicos Islands, Mr. Erwin Jay Sanders, visited the Interhealth Canada Hospital this morning and met with Cuban doctors and nurses who provide services in that institution.
The minister reiterated the gratitude of the Turks and Caicos islanders and the Government for Cuban professionals’ important contribution to the public health system of this British overseas territory.
Doctors and nurses from the Greatest Island in the Antilles travelled to the Turks and Caicos Islands in July 2020 as members of the “Henry Reeve” International Contingent of Doctors Specialized in Disaster Situations and Serious Epidemics. They have since joined forces with other healthcare professionals in the Turks and Caicos in the fight against COVID 19 and other diseases.
