One of the doctors, Dr. Dellaria Bobb, who received the training, shared her views about the programme, stating that it was a rewarding experience, and the one-on-one session with the doctor helped her gain eye-hand coordination and other skills.
This time I had the pleasure, the absolute great opportunity to do this laparoscopic training programme with a doctor who was incredibly patient and who taught very well. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience, and I also learned a lot. And now it has given me a better outlook on my future, what I want to get into, and what I would do to help continue building my country and our medical system, stated Dr. Bobb.
DHA shared this important highlight on its Facebook page, underscoring what the training sessions mean for strengthening Dominica’s health care.
