A group of Dutch chief executive officers (CEOs) from major hospitals in Holland and their Gambian counterparts are holding a five-day international retreat in the country.

This was revealed to the Daily Observer by the chief executive officer of the Sulayman Junkung Jammeh Hospital in Bwiam, Kebba Badjie. According to him, this is the first time CEOs from hospitals in Holland and The Gambia are coming together to discuss matters relating to their various institutions in a “win-win” situation.
