A Tribute to Dr. Oliver Young Pong
Founding Member, CCFP-Trinidad & Tobago
We join
the family medicine community across the Caribbean in mourning the loss of Dr.
Oliver Young Pong — a cherished colleague, mentor, and true pillar of the
Caribbean College of Family Physicians (CCFP), Trinidad & Tobago Chapter.
Dr.
Young Pong was a Founding Member of the of CCFP-Trinidad & Tobago and served faithfully as
Honorary Treasurer under the leadership of Presidents Dr. S. Roache and Dr.
Chris Beaubrun. He also held the critical role of Bank Trustee for the Trinidad
Chapter, serving with integrity, diligence, and a deep commitment to the
mission of advancing family medicine in our region.
Beyond
his service to the College, Dr. Young Pong was a consummate professional — a
physician whose dedication to his patients, his practice at Western Medical
Centre, and his community reflected the highest ideals of our vocation. He was
not only a healer but also a leader, quietly shaping the foundation of primary
care in Trinidad & Tobago and inspiring generations of family physicians to
follow.
Dr.
Young Pong’s legacy is one of compassion, stewardship, and service. He brought
wisdom and warmth to every meeting, every patient encounter, and every
initiative he supported. His quiet strength and unwavering support of the CCFP
will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
To his
family, friends, colleagues, and patients — we extend our heartfelt
condolences. May you be comforted by the knowledge that his life made a
difference and that his contributions will continue to live on in the work of
the College and in the hearts of all who knew him.
May his
soul rest in eternal peace.
