Govt’s decision to recruit foreign healthcare workers ‘a slap in the face’ of hardworking locals – opposition

The opposition has declared its disapproval of the government’s decision to import foreign workers to fill healthcare positions and has stated that such a move denigrates local workers while opening the door for corruption and political manipulation.

This was stated in a press release last week, which noted that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed that the Government of Guyana has authorised a recruiting agency to hire 500 Bangladeshi healthcare workers for both the private and public sectors.
