‘Doctor on Saba’ tells the true story of Dr. Dirk Kooy, a Dutch physician who arrived on the Caribbean island of Saba in the early 1950s. Written by R. Mol, the book captures the remarkable experiences of Kooy as the island’s only doctor, navigating medical emergencies, rugged terrain, and cultural nuances in a remote colonial setting.
