With an increase in the incidence of the multi-drug resistant strain of Tuberculosis, government will resuscitate the Directly Observed Treatment Short-Course (DOTS) strategy to ensure adequate detection, treatment and monitoring, Minister within the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) Dr. Karen Cummings yesterday said.
She was at the time making her contribution to the debate of the government’s proposed 2019 national budget in the National Assembly, where she argued that the proposed increase in the budgetary allocation to the public health sector shows that government is working assiduously to ensure that Guyanese live healthy lives, even as her opposition counterpart Dr Vishwa Mahadeo questioned the contraction of some programmes.
