Minister of Health Frank Anthony recently handed over six cryotherapy machines to regions One, Five, Six, Seven, Eight and Nine to enable treatment of cervical cancer in the regions. According to the Department of Public Information, the machines were purchased by the Ministry of Health, through its non-communicable diseases programme and the donation is part of the ministry’s efforts to eliminate and reduce the burden of cervical cancer in Guyana. “Cervical cancer is the second most prevalent cancer among women in Guyana, and we believe that this is one of the cancers that if we work very hard, that we’ll be able to eliminate from Guyana,” Anthony was quoted as saying at the handing over.
