Efforts to re-accredit the University of Guyana Medical School (UGMS) have been given a boost by “a good corporate citizen,” who has pledged $200M to assist in the construction of a building to be used for student instruction.
This is according to Minister of Public Health Dr George Norton, who told Stabroek News yesterday that the Ministry has been approached by this citizen with the offer of funding the construction of the instructional space within the compound of the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC).
