The Democratic Labour Party has hailed the Caribbean’s first Savi Scout-guided breast cancer surgeries at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH) as a major achievement for Barbados.

DLP shadow health minister Felicia Dujon, in a press statement, welcomed the milestone at the QEH, calling it a “testament to the progress being made in cancer care in Barbados”.

She said: “The milestone reflects the commitment of our medical professionals to adopting innovative technologies that enhance cancer diagnosis and treatment.”
