Georgetown : The health sector’s capacity was boosted with the graduation of 21 fully certified medical doctors.
Speaking at a ceremony last evening at the Grand Coastal Inn, East Coast Demerara, Minister of Health Dr. Bheri Ramsaran said it was a time to applaud the “Special twenty one” as he described them. “You are the icing on the cake, ” he said.
The minister noted that contrary to reports in some media houses, all of those who graduated have been tested and certified by the Guyana Medical Board. Those who were successful completed a one-year internship programme with experienced local doctors in Guyana after graduating from the Cuban Medical Programme last year. They completed as many as seven years of medical training in Cuba, previously.
The minister reminded the new doctors of the need to serve with high standards wherever they may be posted as they were trained to serve all Guyanese. “Be good doctors, think outside the box and engage the surrounding communities”. He also reminded parents that their children were now young adults with a great vision in life to serve the rest of the population.
