FLORIDA ENVIRONMENTAL SPECIALIST TRAINS PANAMANIANS IN BIOMEDICAL WASTE HANDLING
At the request of US Peace Corps - Panama, Dr. Francis Arab, an environmental specialist with the Florida Department of Health in Miami, trained 125 professionals from the Ministries of Health and the Environment in Panama, as well as local representatives, in the handling of biomedical waste, from April 2 to 7. Arab made a total of five formal presentations on Classification and Management of Medical Wastes, Hanta Virus, and Treatment and Disposal Options for Medical Wastes.
"I was very busy," Arab said. "I talked to about 300 people from all over Panama, visited the city to view their waste disposal and visited a hospital as well. It was a very nice experience. I'd be happy to return if they needed me."
Melanie Emerson, seminar coordinator for the Peace Corps, thanked FAVA/CA for sponsoring Arab. "His presence in our seminar educated and empowered the participants," she reported. "His warm and captivating manner held their attention and sparked a heightened interest not only in the topics at hand, but in seeking further education.
"We feel that this was an excellent match," Emerson continued. "We would welcome the opportunity to work with Dr. Arab again on future projects."
