Corporation in the person of Pearline Tross.
During his brief remarks, Dr. Morton expressed his gratitude and appreciation on behalf of the Ministry of Health as this year’s batch of trainees is inclusive of nine (9) orderlies

Commissioner of Police, James Sutton, reminded the trainees of their duty to protect and
serve the citizens and residents of St. Kitts and Nevis. He encouraged them to focus and
diligently apply themselves in the course’s upcoming sessions.
