The Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company (GTT), in an effort to promote prostate cancer screening and raise awareness of the disease, through a multi-agency collaboration, will be distributing vouchers to 150 underprivileged males to access screening and consultation services.
Following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between GTT and the Men’s Health Unit, several Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs), cancer foundations and several GTT Pinktober sponsors on Friday, 150 vouchers were dispersed to be further distributed to men over 40 years who meet specific criteria.
The vouchers were handed to the Guyana Cancer Foundation, the Giving Hope Foundation, the Prostate Cancer Foundation, Cancer Society of Linden and Berbice, Impressions, Republic Bank Guyana, Mix FM and ANSA McAl, among others.
