The Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH) is proud to announce a significant partnership with International Hope Canada, an organization dedicated to improving global healthcare through the donation of medical equipment and supplies. As part of this collaboration, Dr. Bram Ramjiawan, a representative of International Hope Canada, recently visited Barbados to deliver a generous donation of cardiac catheterization laboratory supplies to support the Department of Cardiovascular Services at QEH.

This donation will enhance our capacity to provide high-quality care to patients with cardiovascular conditions and underscores International Hope Canada’s commitment to advancing healthcare worldwide.

Promoting Research and Innovation at QEH

During his visit, Dr. Ramjiawan delivered a thought-provoking keynote presentation titled The Importance of Research and Innovation in a Clinical Care Institution during the Internal Medicine Grand Rounds on Monday, January 20.
