From Caribbean News Service

CAYMAN ISLANDS, Jan 11 2016 – One of the world’s respected pathologists is encouraged by the work of a Caribbean hospital and its mission to make high quality healthcare affordable and accessible to all.

Dr. Vinay Kumar, a titan in medical education and co-author of some of the most widely cited literature on pathology, visited Health City Cayman Islands last month to witness firsthand the work his colleague Dr. Devi Shetty has started in the Caribbean.

“I have deep respect for the mission-driven philosophy of Health City Cayman Islands and feel privileged to have seen it,” said Dr. Kumar of his visit to the Joint Commission International-accredited tertiary care facility.

“In my own small way, I am trying to achieve the same for medical education and I do hope that we can work together to improve healthcare globally,” he noted.

The medical professional, who currently serves as the Alice Hogge and Arthur Baer Distinguished Service Professor and Chairman of the Department of Pathology at the University of Chicago, started his career in India, where he was awarded the Pfizer gold medal for being the best medical graduate at Punjab University.
