The Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre receives support from the Calvin Ayre Foundation (CAF) as they sponsor training for technicians to operate the hyperbaric chamber.
This is in line with CAF’s commitment to enhance healthcare in Antigua and Barbuda.
Having donated a hyperbaric chamber in 2018, CAF now focuses on maximizing its potential by providing specialized training for medical staff.
The chamber offers advanced treatments, including hyperbaric oxygen therapy and diabetic ulcer care.
The training program involves experts in hyperbaric medicine instructing hospital staff, including doctors, nurses, paramedics, and advanced emergency medical technicians.
The foundation collaborates with Local Dive Experts and Divers Alert Network (DAN) trainers to ensure proficiency among healthcare professionals.
CAF’s dedication to healthcare advancements is highlighted by its ongoing collaboration with the Sir Lester Bird Medical Center and the Antigua Barbuda Emergency Medical Services.
