As it aims to end its dependence on private storage space for pharmaceuticals and medical supplies, Minister of Public Health Volda Lawrence announc-ed yesterday that her ministry has severed rental relations with the New GPC and by the end of this year will do the same with all others.
Lawrence stressed that the scale down will affect “all privately owned bonds” and it is hoped that the money saved in rentals can go towards the upgrade of the ministry’s storage and other related systems.
“This year we are focusing on us being able to stock our own medications… cutting back costs and investing in the sector itself this year,” the minister told Stabroek News last evening.
