Basseterre: The Federation of Saint Kitts and Nevis observes the extension of another medical professional in the person of Dr Yannik M. Henry, who latterly graduated from the University of Medical Sciences in Santiago de Cuba, Cuba, with a speciality in Pediatrics.
The young and vibrant medical mind received its early training at St Paul’s Primary School in his hometown at Sandy Point High School (now Charles E. Mills Secondary School) and Clarence Fitzroy Bryant College (CFBC).
Around the year 2010, Henry receives an academic scholarship through the Cuba-Saint Kitts and Nevis Scholarship Program to study medicine in Cuba. In 2016, he studied with a doctor of medicine at Cuba’s Higher Institute of Medical Sciences in Pinar del Rio.
Early in his general exercise, Dr Henry was inspired and formed by the then pediatrician Dr Ian Jacobs (now deceased). In 2018, Dr Henry once again accepted by Cuba, this time to specialize in paediatrics.
Yannik Henry is eternally grateful to Almighty God, his mentor Paediatrician, the late Dr Ian Jacobs, his family and friends, fellow students, the staff of Joseph N. France General Hospital, Ambassador Verna Mills (who was a prominent source of assistance and encouragement), the governments of Saint Kitts and Nevis and Cuba, and any person who in any way added to his success. Dr Henry looks ahead with excitement to serving the people, particularly the youth and children of the Federation, in his new role as a paediatrician.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs unites the government and people of Saint Kitts and Nevis to congratulate dr. Yannik Henry, the latest paediatrician in the medical fraternity of Saint Kitts and Nevis, and wishes him every success with the service.
