International occupational health, grounded in local reality
NANDA OHA brings European-trained occupational health expertise to Suriname and the Caribbean — as a complement to what is being built locally, not a replacement for it.
"Where work meets well-being"
Work and health, at international standards
Suriname is modernising its labour legislation and aligning with international standards for occupational safety and health. This creates real opportunities to improve the health of working people — across every sector.
NANDA OHA aims to contribute: with knowledge, experience and a practical approach that fits the local context. Not ready-made models imported from Europe, but solutions that work in the reality of Suriname and the Caribbean.
Broadly capable, with depth where it counts
Occupational health touches every sector. NANDA OHA focuses on the areas where the need — and the impact — is greatest.
Medical examinations
NANDA OHA is building the accreditations and certifications to offer medical examinations for high-risk occupations.
Absence & reintegration
Guidance on absence, return to work and sustainable employability — the foundation of every healthy organisation.
Oil & gas
Occupational health support for the growing energy sector — offshore, remote and physically demanding work environments.
Heat & climate
The impact of rising heat and humidity on performance, recovery and safety — a structural and growing risk.
Toxicology
Assessment and advice on exposure to hazardous substances — from industry to agriculture.
Policy & advisory
Strategic advice on building occupational health policy that aligns with the modernising legislation.
Rishal Nanda
With a background in surgery and neurosurgery — gained in the Netherlands and Suriname — and a specialisation in occupational medicine, Rishal Nanda combines clinical depth with an international perspective on work and health.
His connection to Suriname is both personal and professional. NANDA OHA grows from the wish to apply the knowledge and standards he built in Europe where they can make a difference.
Aligned with a modernising legal framework
Suriname is developing a new Occupational Health and Safety Act and preparing to ratify international conventions on occupational safety and health. This marks an important step towards safer and healthier work.
NANDA OHA aims to help organisations prepare for this changing framework — not by adding complexity, but by offering practical, scalable support aligned with the international standards Suriname is moving towards.
