In light of the first official confirmed COVID-19 case on St. Maarten, who is currently in home isolation, the SMMC Outbreak Management Team (OMT) has decided to increase the mitigating efforts in possible exposure to the virus and to keep SMMC’s care capacity at the highest level in case of confirmed COVID-19 case(s) needing admittance to SMMC.

SMMC is pleased to inform the general public that from February 27th until March 7th, 2020, plastic and aesthetic surgeon Dr. Marlon Buncamper will be back on St. Maarten for consultations and medical procedures. This will be Dr. Buncamper’s first rotational service at SMMC since becoming a specialist at SMMC in late 2019.

SMMC recently provided a train-the-trainer course to healthcare professionals from local healthcare agencies including the Collective Prevention Services, the Department of Public Health, Port of St. Maarten, Princess Juliana International Airport, the Department of Immigration and Ambulance Services on procedures and precautions pertinent to COVID-19, commonly known as the Corona Virus.
