My name is Mark Baptista. I am a neurologist, working at the Curacao Medical Center since 2023. I come from Paramaribo, Suriname. I received my medical training at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. I received my training as a neurologist in Suriname and partly in the Netherlands, at the AMC Amsterdam, Spaarne Ziekenhuis Hoofddorp, Medisch Spectrum Twente in Enschede, and at UMC Utrecht. After my training as a neurologist, I worked at the Sint Vincentius Ziekenhuis in Paramaribo until 2023.
