Brazil yesterday donated drugs to fight the HIV virus after a request from Guyana which had experienced supply problems.
According to the Department of Public Information (DPI), the Ministry of Health received a quantity of antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) donated by Brazil.
Minister of Health, Dr. Frank Anthony said he was grateful that the neighbouring country responded to Guyana’s request for assistance.
“A big thank you to Brazil for stepping forward and assisting us with this much needed ARVs … We’ve all been following the challenges that Covid has posed to all countries around the world…
“There has been restrictions and disruption in the logistics [of] supplies of medicines and other pharmaceuticals”, Anthony said.
