World Indian Network Communication Network Presents Medical Matters with Sheldon Yearwood

Your window to optimum health…

‘Take care of your body with steadfast fidelity. The soul must see through these eyes alone, and if they are dim, the whole world is clouded…’ It’s time to remove the clouds of ill health that have kept you in bondage and embrace a healthy lifestyle. Medical Matters is an award-winning program that has been on the air for just over two years and in that short time, has amassed a worldwide audience giving an insight into optimum health.

The producer and host Sheldon Yearwood took what was just an idea and developed it into the only show of its kind in the region that takes an in depth look into health related issues.  Since its inception Yearwood has created history winning nine awards; six from the Pan American Health Organization, one of which he was recognized for Best Health Promotion in the Caribbean.  This award afforded him the opportunity of a trip to Washington DC to take part in a health fellowship with the Kaiser Family Foundation where he interacted with several key players in journalism including former managing editor of BET Greg Chance, senior journalists of the Washington Post and executives from ABC...all of whom were impressed with his work and who he will be collaborating with on future projects.

Recently, he also represented the Caribbean at a media conference in Mexico on the effects of Climate Change. This was sponsored by the UNFPA.  Medical Matters has also been a platform for helping to raise funds for children who are in dire need of surgery abroad, which has proven to be very successful.  The Women’s Wednesday Special, which was initially scheduled to be one program turned out to be a
phenomenal hit and today, this one-hour production has a large viewing audience.  To this end we thank special regular guest and gynaecologist Dr. Sherene Kalloo for her continued support and expertise as many women have benefitted from her advice.

Other medical professionals have also endorsed this show including renowned psychiatrist and head of the Psychiatry Unit at the University of the West Indies Dr. Gerard Hutchinson, and renowned Urologist
Dr. Lester Goetz.  Minister of Social Development the Honourable Dr. Amery Browne has also gone on record endorsing this show stating that it has been a blessing to the people of Trinidad and Tobago in addressing the issues surrounding health and social issues.  Every human being is the author of his own health or disease…so let’s take that first step to rewriting our lives…

This is Medical Matters…
