Minister of Health Dr. Frank Anthony yesterday accused the former APNU+AFC government of leaving Guyana with a broken health care system, which he partially blamed for compromising the response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Speaking during the debate on the 2020 national budget, held at Arthur Chung Conference Centre, Anthony said he was in utter disbelief when he took over the ministry and a survey of the Materials Management Unit (MMU) as of August 5th showed that there were some 205 items out of stock. He argued that this showed that the APNU+AFC government did not procure drugs or medical supplies for those needing it in the country.
