CAY HILL:--- The two gynecologists working at the St. Maarten Medical Center (SMMC) are now working under severe pressure because one of the two midwives working for the medical facility left when her contract ended a month ago. SMN News learnt that the midwife did not want to work any longer for SMMC so as soon as her contract ended she left. SMMC then found a replacement from Suriname who also left her post two weeks ago leaving the hospital with one midwife and two gynecologists namely Dr. Courtar and Dr. Callo.
Sources at the institution said that SMMC is busy searching the globe to find a midwife that is willing to work full time. An email to the medical director Kees Klarenbeek was not answered when SMN News tried to obtain a statement from SMMC.
