The Health Ministry is hoping to boost the quality of healthcare available by assigning over 300 newly-graduated Cuba-trained doctors with experienced medical personnel at public institutions countrywide.
At a graduation ceremony held for 70 of the doctors at the Guyana International Conference Centre, at Lilendaal, Health Minister Dr. Bheri Ramsaran, President Donald Ramotar and Cuban Ambassador to Guyana Raul Marrero charged them to continue to enhance their knowledge and qualifications.
“These are baby doctors. We will be holding their hands and guiding them… they will be attached with experience doctors and will continue their preparations. Then when we are satisfied… they will get additional certification before they go,” Ramsaran told attendees.
The group returned to Guyana earlier this month to commence working after training in Cuba for over six years.
