On March 31, 1950, Barbados marked the passing of Sir John Hudson, a respected physician, public servant, and nation builder whose work helped shape the island’s early development. Trained in medicine, he devoted over 50 years to public health at a time when systems were still evolving, advocating for improved sanitation and structured health administration, including the establishment of the Office of Chief Medical Officer.
