Dominica’s healthcare sector marked a significant milestone with the official opening of Patient Choice Medical Supply, a facility founded by Dominican-born surgeon Dr. Dale Dangleben. The grand opening brought together public officials, healthcare professionals, and community members to celebrate a vision of transforming access to medical equipment and supplies on the island.
In his remarks, Dr. Dangleben emphasised the importance of bridging the healthcare access gap through innovation and affordability. “We are here to provide access to medical supplies for the people of Dominica, and also be part of this community, not just as a business, but as a contributor to the well-being of the country,” he stated, reinforcing the mission behind the project.
Minister for Health, Wellness and Social Services Hon. Cassanni Laville addressed the gathering, noting the importance of private initiatives that align with Dominica’s broader health and development goals. “Entrepreneurship in healthcare is essential to building a resilient system. When private citizens like Dr. Dangleben step forward, the entire nation benefits,” he said, highlighting the role of collaborative partnerships in national development.
Located in the coastal village of Pointe Michel, Patient Choice Medical Supply is positioned to serve both medical institutions and individual clients across the island. The facility offers a comprehensive range of medical products, including diagnostic tools, orthopedic equipment, homecare aids, and surgical accessories, all sourced with a focus on quality and affordability.
Following the official ceremony, attendees were given a tour of the modern facility and engaged with staff about the range of services and supplies available. Many expressed appreciation for the initiative, calling it a timely response to existing healthcare needs.
With Dr. Dangleben’s expertise and vision at the helm, and strong support from national leadership, Patient Choice Medical Supply launches as a promising contribution to Dominica’s evolving health infrastructure, one rooted in service, equity, and national pride.
