 With the many investments that the government has been putting into the country’s healthcare system, Guyanese have been assured that the sector is well-equipped to diagnose and treat any stage of prostate cancer.

Speaking on the recent episode of the Ministry of Health’s ‘Health Matters’ programme aired on its Facebook page, urologist attached to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) Dr Rajendra Sukhraj said the medical institution is well-prepared to handle all stages of cancer.

“It is very important that if we are screening men and making a diagnosis then we should be able to offer them the treatment that they need. So, yes, we do offer treatment for all stages of prostate cancer,” Dr Sukhraj said, according to the Department of Public Information (DPI).
