Support for Guyana’s public health sector is “priority” for China says Shen Huiyong, Economic and Commercial Counsellor at the Chinese Embassy in Guyana.
According to a media release from the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH), Huiyong assured Public Health Minister Volda Lawrence on Tuesday that while his government will support several other local sectors, “public health is priority.” He added that China is ready to provide grants to construct new hospitals here or refurbish existing ones, and also provide training for health sector workers.
