Minister of Health, Dr. Leslie Ramsammy has rejected a global report released on Friday that failed to name Guyana among the Caribbean countries on target to make the 2010 goal of offering a comprehensive Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmis-sion (PMTCT) of HIV programme.
Guyana has been slighted for reasons unknown Ramsammy said yesterday, adding that the local PMTCT programme is among the best in the world with coverage of over 80 percent. Additionally, he said, the country boasts an above 90 percent acceptance rate of PMTCT services among women.
