Statement from the Medical Association of Antigua and Barbuda Inc. Regarding the Devastating Fire Affecting Local Doctors
The Medical Association of Antigua and Barbuda Inc. (MAAB) expresses its profound sadness and deep concern following the devastating fire that ravaged the Gambles Medical Centre in St. John’s, severely impacting the offices and infrastructure of several businesses and medical offices.
We stand in solidarity with Dr. Bernard Evan-Wong (Dentist), Dr. Hanybal Yazigi (Oncologist), Dr. Leon B. Stevens (Obstetrician and Gynaecologist), Dr. Sharon Cordner (Internist & Rheumatologist), Dr. Edda Hadeed (Paediatrician), and Dr. Asha Robins (Surgeon) during this incredibly difficult time. The loss of their physical spaces, critical equipment, and years of patient records is not just a personal loss, but a significant blow to the healthcare landscape of Antigua and Barbuda.
The dedication and compassion these doctors have shown to their patients is immeasurable, and to see their livelihood and ability to provide care disrupted by such an unforeseen event is truly heartbreaking. We cannot overstate the impact this will have on the patients who rely on their specialized expertise for their well-being.
In the face of adversity, the medical community must remain united. We urge all our members, healthcare partners, and the entire nation to join us in extending our heartfelt empathy and compassion to Dr. Evan-Wong, Dr. Yazigi, Dr. Stevens, Dr. Cordner, Dr. Hadeed, and Dr. Robins and their dedicated staff.
Our thoughts are with them, their families, and their patients. We are confident that with our collective strength and support, they will overcome this adversity and continue their noble mission of healing.
Dr. Alafea Stevens

It is so that the opposition and the people criticized Gaston about the fire station didn’t have any truck and no water that shame let him get these few old ones , the upp government was the only one that bought new fire trucks.
Very said indeed for all the businesses that occupied that building. I do not know the extent of the damage but there are also the law chambers of Septimus Rhudd and Dexter Weason located in the building. I hope all is not lost in particular records.
Over the years I have used several of the facilities in the Medical Complex to include Medical and Law Businesses and more. I am really saddened to learn of the destruction of your office. You have been such a dedicated part of our community’s health and wellbeing, justice and fair play. I hope you feel surrounded by love and support as you face this, and I look forward to seeing your practice rise from the ashes.
@❤️❤️❤️🔥 Liar, liar, you are talking shit again. You’re such a sad, worthless fuck.
This is why electronic records is feasible and pertinent ASAP!!
I agree with BLUE GREEN SSZ.
Both the medical and legal fraternity should have their records digitizer and regularly backed up to external drives saved off premises or in the Cloud, encrypted.
Also there used to be a restaurant located in that same building, not sure if it was still there.
The cause of the fire needs to be publicly printed.
My feelings of loss for all these businesses.
