With March 30th celebrated as National Doctors’ Day, the Health Services Authority (HSA) is recognising the crucial role our 140 doctors play in providing care to the Cayman Islands community.
The day which is observed annually honours the dedication, skill, and unwavering commitment of doctors.
Dr Delroy Jefferson, Medical Director at the HSA, highlighted that “doctors continue to be the backbone of healthcare and as such we appreciate their dedication and contributions in safeguarding public health and wellbeing. Following the global pandemic, doctors have emerged as frontline heroes, underscoring their selfless commitment and willingness to be resilient and protect the community.”
In 2023, HSA physicians provided treatment to 41,094 patients, and facilitated 268,782 outpatient clinic visits. In addition, physicians catered to 36,180 at the hospital’s Accident and Emergency Department.
In expanding its service capacity to address the complex and increased need of patients, the HSA has opened and improved several specialty clinics, including neurology and geriatrics, bringing patients together with skilled and competent doctors with advanced local and international experience.
“With a growing and diverse population, we rely on the expertise of our doctors in providing care that not only meets but exceeds the standard of international care, which has been reinforced with our Joint International Commission (JCI) accreditation,” noted Dr Jefferson.
