BASSETERRE, ST. KITTS – Meanwhile A St. Paul’s-born national has returned home qualified after studying medicine in Cuba.
The return of Dr. Yanik Henry puts into perspective the opportunities given by another St. Paul’s physician, the Rt. Hon. Dr. Denzil L. Douglas, not only to young persons from his constituency, but to others from across St. Kitts and Nevis.
“The Rt Hon Dr Denzil L Douglas was afforded the opportunity by the Labour/Bradshaw government to pursue his Medical Career in Jamaica at the UWI. In 1980, the government was changed, and unfortunately, his economic support stopped, but he pursued to the end.
He returned home after completion of his internship in Trinidad. He practiced both at the JNFG Hospital and privately in his constituency and Basseterre, until his ascension to Prime Minister.
He was an Excellent Medical Doctor,” heralded Gealta Langley on her FaceBook page Wednesday.
Gealta pointed out that Dr Yanik Henry has just returned home having graduated from a Medical University in Cuba after benefitting from the Cuban Scholarship Program through the Douglas Labour Government.
