Several journalists were on Sunday evening awarded for their health reporting at the annual Pan-American Health Organization/World Health Organization (PAHO/WHO) Clare Forrester Media Awards.
Speaking at the ceremony, which was held at the Pegasus Hotel under the theme ‘Positively Transforming Health Through the Media in Guyana,’ PAHO/WHO Resident Representative William Adu-Krow acknowledged that the media play a vital role in educating the public about health issues.
“People can have as many opinions as they want but there can only be one fact. And that is the fact we always want to rely on the media persons to take out there,” he said.
