Med­ical teams from the USNS Com­fort will work with the Min­istry of Health and lo­cal health pro­fes­sion­als to pro­vide free med­ical ser­vices from Au­gust 7 to 9 at the Na­tion­al Acad­e­my for the Per­form­ing Arts in Port-of-Spain.

Clin­ics will op­er­ate from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on a first-come, first-served ba­sis. No pre-reg­is­tra­tion is re­quired.

Pa­tients may re­turn for ad­di­tion­al con­sul­ta­tions.
