The
annual Cayman Islands Healthcare Conference will take place from 26
to 28 September 2019 at the Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman. This year
will mark the tenth anniversary of the event, and the theme is
“Innovating the Future of Healthcare: Building on a Decade of
Progress”. Organisers have confirmed that local company Ironshore
Pharmaceuticals & Development, Inc., last year’s Premium Plus
sponsor, has renewed its partnership with the conference which
attracts over 1200 attendees during the three-day period and includes
exhibitors and speakers from the Caribbean, USA and beyond.

“Ironshore
Pharmaceuticals is pleased to support the Cayman Islands Healthcare
Conference. We are excited by the agenda and hope members of the
community take the opportunity to become educated consumers of
healthcare related products and services. We are particularly
enthusiastic regarding the theme of this year’s event as it aligns
closely with our values and goals,” David Lickrish, CEO and
President of Ironshore, said. 

“As
a leader in the development of novel treatments, we are committed to
innovating in the healthcare space by combining science and
technology to deliver clinically meaningful advancements. 
Ironshore recently launched its first product, JORNAY PM™, which is
indicated for the treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity
Disorder (“ADHD”) in patients six years and older. Our presence
at the Healthcare Conference provides the opportunity to educate the
healthcare community, as well as patients and caregivers about JORNAY
PM, which has the potential to help millions of patients affected by
ADHD.”

The
conference covers a wide range of relevant topics for a varied group
of attendees, which includes members of the medical community,
small/medium business owners, parents, human resource managers,
insurance company representatives, fitness and wellness
professionals, and members of the general public who are interested
in their health. This year’s conference sessions will address
topics such as reverse innovation, antibiotic resistance, climate
change, mental health, telemedicine, chronic disease and integrated
health.

“The
Healthcare Conference offers opportunities for dialogue, debate,
inspiration and education among members of the medical community and
the public who it serves. Increasingly, patients are seeking ways to
empower themselves with information that will improve their health
and general wellbeing. Forums such as the Healthcare Conference
provide vital knowledge and tools to patients and medical
professionals which they can use to make informed decisions that not
only benefit them personally but ultimately impact the overall health
of the country.” Hon. Dwayne Seymour, Minister for Health,
Environment, Culture and Housing, said.

“I
trust that the public will take advantage of the chance to engage
with some of the industry’s leading professionals and come away
with a renewed commitment to healthy living.”

Minister
Seymour congratulated the Conference Planning Committee on the
event’s anniversary and its success to date.

“My
fellow Committee members and I are excited to have achieved this
noteworthy milestone, and acknowledge the support of both the
Government and our corporate partners over the past nine years who
have embraced the vision for the Healthcare Conference, and enabled
us to bring members of the medical community and the general public
together to collaborate and find ways to enhance the Cayman Islands’
healthcare product,” Lizzette Yearwood, Chair of the Conference
Planning Committee and CEO of the Cayman Islands Health Services
Authority, said.

“Our
theme for our tenth year will speak to the future of the industry but
also allow us, as healthcare professionals, to take stock, reflect on
and celebrate the various accomplishments and significant strides
that the Cayman Islands has made. As always, we look forward to
enlightening presentations from dynamic speakers that will nurture
attendees’ professional and personal development in addition to
networking opportunities that will result in mutually beneficial
partnerships.”

Online
registration for the Cayman Islands Healthcare Conference will open
in August. As in previous years, to ensure a quality experience for
attendees, seating will be limited. Though the event is free and open
to the public, tickets will be required and awarded on a first-come,
first-served basis to those who register online. There will be no
on-site registration. Continuing Medical Education (CME) certificates
will be available for each presentation.
