The Dutch-Caribbean Heart Days
We are very pleased to present the definite program of the Dutch Caribbean Heart Days 2024, which will be held April 11 – 13, 2024 at the Renaissance Wind Creek Curaçao Resort in Willemstad, Curaçao.
The program coordinators composed an attractive program in which basic and advanced clinical practice will be addressed, but also scientific and local perspectives on radiological and cardiological innovations.
A special session for general practitioners is scheduled on Thursday night.
Early fee registration is open now, until March 25th.
We are looking forward to welcoming you in April!
