"At 8 years old, I witnessed my pet fowl Clemmie bleeding to death after being mauled by a dog, and did not know what to do. A few months after, I decided to become a doctor so I could be equipped with the knowledge of prompt intervention should a medical catastrophe of some sort happen to a human soul."
Dr. Adrian F.D. Coore
"We all aim to be happy - with that pursuit of happiness comes a responsibility to take care of your wholistic health. Healthcare for me should strive to be adaptive, accomodating and easy. It's not just about sickness and disease but wellness and well being."
Dr. Garrett-Dijan Fairclough
After graduating from the Faculty of Medical Sciences (at the University of the West Indies, Mona Campus, Kingston Jamaica), Garrett-Dijan realised his passion for medicine stretched beyond the typical care of ailments and sickness (in Jamaica). He sees healthcare through the microscope of the youth: an environment that needs to improve with technology and evolve with social and environmental changes globally. This approach is essential to promote health and well-being to the younger generation in an effort to reduce chronic disease burden and complications in the population.
Garrett-Dijan has been exposed to emergency care management of various, common diseases for over 5 years. He has special interests in public health as it relates to the social determinants of health as well as physical medicine and rehabilitation.
He hopes to see improvements in the technological and creative side of healthcare systems in Jamaica. He is currently pursuing a Masters degree in International Public Health.
