Amid high numbers of deaths, the Ministry of Public Health yesterday launched a $1.6b IDB-funded maternal and child health (MCH) improvement project.
A press release from the ministry said that Public Health Minister Volda Lawrence plugged sustained local and international support to guarantee the success of the five-year US$8M Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) financing.
Lawrence said she is worried about Guyana’s continued high rates of maternal and infant mortality and said reversing those patterns cannot be the sole responsibility of her Ministry.
