The signing of the agreement between the Guyana and Suriname Ministries of Health will see citizens easily accessing healthcare services that may be available in one country but not the other.
On Thursday, the Department of Public Information reported that Guyana’s acting Minister of Foreign Affairs Dr. Frank Anthony, and Suriname’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, International Business and International Cooperation, Albert Ramdin, signed the agreement on the establishment of services in the field of healthcare.
The report said that Ministries of Health are expected to strengthen strategic collaboration, provide effective capacity building for healthcare personnel and specialty treatment for patients. The Ministries will also develop joint programmes, especially in professional healthcare and public health services, disease control, diagnostic imaging, laboratory services, pharmaceutical services and research.
