More than 1,000 additional coronavirus disease (COVID-19) testing kits and 14 ventilators have been donated to Guyana by the Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization (PAHO/WHO).
This was disclosed yesterday by Minister of Public Health Volda Lawrence. The equipment will boost the capacity of the ministry’s level three facility – the most-well equipped hospital in the country, she said. The facility is the Georgetown Public Hospital.
Guyana now has a total of 1,800 COVID-19 testing kits available.
