The Bridgetown International University (BIU) School of Medicine is set to expand its campuses in Barbados, which could see a US$10 million investment.

And Barbados is equally prepared to facilitate the progress in any possible way, says acting Prime Minister Santia Bradshaw.

She was speaking during the BIU’s first white coat ceremony on Friday night at the Accra Beach Hotel, Accra, Christ Church, where 27 doctors received their “superhero capes”.
