Photos/Video: Dr. Weldon Earns ‘Woman Of Year’
Dr. Carika Weldon – who played a major role in helping the island to navigate the Covid-19 pandemic – was named ‘Woman of the Year’ at the International Women’s Day event held yesterday [March 8] at City Hall in Hamilton.
Dr Weldon was also honoured back in the 2020 2020 Queen’s Birthday Honours List, and at that time the Government said, “Dr. Weldon returned to Bermuda from the UK to devise a testing regime for Bermuda to increase testing capacity as part of the COVID-19 pandemic response.
“She has done so at a great sacrifice to her existing work in Oxford. She led the development of the Government’s Molecular Diagnostic Lab and has dramatically increased the island’s testing capacity, a critical element in successfully controlling the spread of COVID-19 on the island.”
Congratulations Miss.Weldon!
