According to a Department of Public Information (DPI) press release, the outreaches were organised after MoPH was informed that residents of these two communities were in dire need of these services

The specialists on both teams came from the Cuban Medical Brigade in Guyana and included dentists, ophthalmologists and dermatologists along with general medical practitioners, the DPI added.
