Guyana’s recent pact with Suriname on health services would see cancer patients getting radioactive therapy not available here and Surinamese coming here for kidney transplants, Minister of Health Dr.Frank Anthony says.
“We also looked at how we can both benefit from the provision of medical services. There are some [services] that are offered by Suriname that we don’t have, and vice versa. We are doing kidney transplants and that is not done there. Suriname offers some radiotherapy that we don’t have and in a way we can complement each other,” Anthony told Stabroek News.
