WILLEMSTAD - If everything goes well, the Curacao Medical Center will open its doors next Friday. Patients move from the St. Elisabeth Hospital (Sehos) to the new hospital on that day.

Everything is prepared for it.

The opening of the new hospital would mean a change in Curacao health care, according to director Hans Kedzierski.

With the opening of the CMC, Curacao wants to once again gain a prominent place in the field of healthcare in the Caribbean.
