Minister of Public Health Dr. George Norton yesterday visited the Cheddi Jagan Dental Centre on Carmichael Street and declared himself very impressed with the services offered.
He said, “I am very much impressed…credit must be given where credit is due,” as such, the Minister congratulated the staff of the facility, primarily Dr. Shameer Ali, who heads the centre, for the good work they have been doing.
GINA said that Norton had a firsthand view of the procedures carried out at the facility.
Speaking to reporters, the Minister highlighted that the facility also offers training, and not only for Guyanese, but also for students from other countries.
Currently there are several students from Grenada undergoing training along with students from areas such as Regions 1, 7, 8 and 9.
The Minister emphasized that the motive behind these visits is to ensure that citizens are gaining access to quality care in every area of public health. He added that the new government wanted to “hit the ground running” to create a better life for all Guyanese.
