Health services system in Dominica

Abstract

Each year the Governments of the countries of the Americas, acting through their representatives in the meetings of PAHO's Governing Bodies, confer the PAHO Award for Administration in recognition of an outstanding contribution in the field of health services administration. The names of candidates are submitted by the Member Governments and the winner is selected by a three-member award committee at the first yearly meeting of the Executive Committee. The 1992 award committee, composed of representatives of Barbados, Cuba and Honduras, unanimously selected Dr. Desmond O.N. McIntyre, former Chief Medical Officer, Ministry of Health of Dominica, as the 18th recipient of this award, which was presented on 23 September 1992 during the XXXVI Meeting of the Directing Council
