Welcome to the foundation Pediatric Research & Education Suriname (P.R.E.S.) website!
Foundation P.R.E.S. was established in 2016 by pediatricians and researchers of the Academic Pediatric Center Suriname (APCS) at the Academic Hospital Paramaribo (AHP) in Suriname. During their collaboration in the clinic they found that sustainable improvements could be achieved by quality research and
continuous
education of local health care professionals.
This website is a one-stop-shop for anyone who wants to be involved in relevant and exciting projects to help improve health of Surinamese children. Thank you for visiting!
