Dr. Virginia “Ginny” Hobday, originally from Zambia and raised in Ethiopia, qualified at St. Bartholomew’s Hospital in London, UK in 1986. She worked for five years in pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology and genitourinary medicine in various London teaching hospitals. Dr. Hobday moved to Cayman in 1998 to work with Dr. Mike Hetley, a long standing G.P. on the island. She enjoyed it so much that she returned to work in the District Health Clinics for the Public Health Department, which included the prison. In addition to her strong commitment to general practice, Dr. Hobday is also an authorised CAA Medical Examiner and a part-time lecturer at St. Matthew’s Medical School.
Dr. Hobday is the Medical Director of the Cayman Islands Hospice Care (Jasmine) and has completed post graduate training in palliative care. She also sits on other Medical Committees here in Cayman as well as running her own busy clinic.
Dr. Hobday joined the Foundation in 2010 as the Medical Advisor and is invaluable to the Foundation and the work we do.
