Seychelles Medical And Dental Association
Seychelles Medical and Dental Association (SMDA) is a registered body consisting of the doctors and dentists working in the Republic of Seychelles.

Seychelles Medical And Dental Council
The Seychelles Medical and Dental Council (SMDC) was created in 1994 by the Medical Practitioners and Dentists Act. Its function is regulatory. The logo of SMDC depicts the coco de mer, (the largest nut in the world and found only in Seychelles), cut in cross-section and sitting on part of the leaf of the coco de mer tree. It also depicts a unique and loose interpretation of the Rod or the Staff of Asclepius the symbol of healing. The two snakes around the staff bear some resemblance to the Caduceus but they are not meant to depict the Caduceus. One of the snakes is deliberately of a different blue colour. SMDC regulates both the medical and dental professions and the two slightly different and yet similar snakes around the staff are meant to represent these two professions of healing.

Any practicing doctor or dentist in Seych ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
