In a move aimed at strengthening Public Health infrastructure, and improving surveillance, the American University of Antigua (AUA) has generously donated 5 Lenovo desktop computers to the Central Board of Health (CBH) on July 14, 2025.
The handover was made by AUA’s Senior Vice President, Chief Operating Officer, Director of Emergency Medicine Training Centre & Chemical Simulation – Mr. Vernon Solomon, and Director of Facilities – Mr. Lennie B. Quashie to Chief Health Inspector – Ms. Sharon Martin.
Ms. Martin welcomed the very timely donation, and extended sincere thanks to the management of AUA.
