The Trinidad and Tobago Cancer Society remains committed to the education and screening of cancer during this time of uncertainty. We would like to assure you that we are monitoring and updating our clinic daily to continuously adhere to the social distancing guidelines implemented by the MOH. Your safety is our top priority.
The TTCS was founded in 1969 by a group of citizens ranging from healthcare professionals to patients to educators to social activists, all of whom had just one major motivator; to improve the lives of their fellow countrymen. The first executive committee comprised Sir Henry Pierre, Mr. Emile Elias, Mr. Harold Fasier, Mrs. Jeanette Laird, Dr. David Quamina, Dr. George Laquis (past Chairman), Dr. Carol Inalsingh, and Mrs. Danielle Le Gendre.
