The 46-member team from New York University (NYU) College of Dentistry has been administering free care, such as extractions, fillings, root canals and reconstructive surgery to hundreds of Grenadians – mostly children and the elderly.

“This is wonderful program for which all of us in government are extremely grateful for,” said Foreign Affairs Minister Peter David during a visit to the Tivoli Medical Clinic, where the NYU professionals were attending.
“As a government, we would like to thank NYU and all the sponsors of the program, as well as members of Concerned Grenadians in New York.”

Minister David was accompanied on the visit to Tivoli by Minister of State in the Prime Minister’s Officer, Senator Arley Gill, and Grenada’s Consul General in New York, Derrick James.

The NYU delegation – including Project Manager, Grenada-born Gracelyn Bubb-Harris – has also met with Health Minister Senator Ann Peters, and Minister for Education and Human Resource Development, Senator Franka Alexis-Bernardine.
