The United States and Suriname have jointly launched the AMISTAD 2025 medical project, with the goal of both providing direct care and strengthening the preparedness of health care providers. Between July 14 and 25, American and Surinamese medical teams will join forces at three locations in Suriname. The focus here is both patient care and knowledge exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This initiative, initiated by U.S. Air Forces Southern Command, is part of a broader global health operation. That focuses on fostering partnerships and increasing deployment readiness in five partner countries: Peru, Suriname, Paraguay, El Salvador and Panama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Suriname, the mission is conducted in close cooperation with the Ministry of Health. The participating teams work at Wanica Hospital, Brownsweg Hospital and the Academic Hospital Paramaribo. Together they perform a variety of treatments ranging from dentistry to emergency and family medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to providing medical assistance, the emphasis is on sharing knowledge and strengthening the local health care infrastructure. Together, U.S. specialists and Surinamese medical managements match the demand for care with available expertise. This not only improves acute care, but also grows capacity to act quickly and efficiently in disaster scenarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
