This advanced acquisition enables SMMC to perform minimally invasive urological procedures with greater precision,
providing patients with enhanced outcomes and faster recovery times.
In addition, on October 26, 2024, SMMC will host its annual Women’s Health Day, offering free breast cancer screenings.
In collaboration with the Positive Foundation and the Elektralytes Foundation,
SMMC invites attendees from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM for free clinical breast exams conducted by SMMC’s Medical Specialists and local General Practitioners.
Medical students from the American University of the Caribbean (AUC) will assist in the event, contributing to comprehensive and accessible care for the community.
Further advancing its surgical capabilities, Dr. Marlon Buncamper, SMMC’s Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeon,
recently performed the first-ever deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap breast surgery at SMMC.
This milestone represents a significant advancement in surgical options for breast reconstruction on the island.
Established to meet the healthcare needs of the people of St. Maarten and surrounding islands,
the St. Maarten Medical Center (SMMC) has evolved from its early years into a central healthcare institution renowned for quality and accessible care.
The center officially opened its doors in 1991, replacing the Princess Juliana Hospital,
which had served the community for decades but could no longer meet the growing demands of the population.
The foundation of SMMC aimed to bring a modern healthcare facility to the island,
one equipped with the necessary resources, skilled staff,
and innovative treatments to address a wide range of health needs.
Since its opening, SMMC has steadily expanded its services,
adapting to technological advances and aligning with the healthcare needs of the region.
