Having provided modern spine treatment since
2002 to patients from the region - Island Hospital
unveiled in December 2006 the Spine Centre.
This next step in our evolution provides us with a
public image of our services -- all this while, we
have remained conceptual and are tangible only
through the results of our treatment. A physical
rendering allows us to have our own space,
environment and character -- all being values
which we will factor in toward taking even better
care of our patients.
A faculty of renowned spine surgeons graced the
opening ceremony and we hope that this --
instead of giving the atmosphere mere pomp
--actually serves as a mark that we are well on the
international stage.
