Health Minister Connor Champions Prostate Cancer Awareness on St. Maarten

Sint Maarten's Minister of Public Health, Social Development and Labor, Claret Connor, dedicated his Saturday, September 19, 2026, to men's health by participating in two prostate cancer awareness initiatives on the island. The events were aimed at encouraging men in Sint Maarten to take greater responsibility for their health, particularly around prostate cancer screening and early detection. By personally taking part in the activities, Minister Connor sought to lead by example and reduce the stigma or hesitancy many men feel toward seeking medical care. Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting men in the Caribbean region, making public awareness campaigns especially significant. The minister's visible involvement signals a commitment from the government to prioritize men's health as part of the broader public health agenda in Sint Maarten.
