Health Control Services (HCS), a family company, started with the establishment of the general medical practice in 1997 by dr. Reginald Kort under the name Mozes Foundation for Curative and Preventive Care. By that time dr. Reginald Kort had obtained extensive first-hand experience with the wide range of needs for medical services in companies through his position as head physician at Billiton Maatschappij Suriname, an affiliate of one of the largest world-renowned mining companies, BHP Group. His time with this internationally operational company, had also given him the opportunity to grow his network of medical professionals and acquire the know-how necessary for the successful set-up and staffing of clinics, especially in remote areas. Through his general practice, preventive and curative care was provided by different medical professionals, including general practitioners, company doctors and diabetes nurses.
