Tropical Health Training: Saint James School of Medicine (SJSM) announced its Diploma in Tropical Medicine and Public Health is now officially recognized by the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (ASTMH), with a Suriname in-person practicum component. Digital Resilience for Health & Services: TELESUR and Liberty Networks signed an MoU to strengthen connectivity and network resilience for Suriname’s oil & gas sector, supporting broader digital infrastructure needs.
