Minister of Health, Dr. Frank Anthony today expressed sympathy to the family, friends, and colleagues of Lolita Rebeiro who passed away last evening.
A statement from the Ministry of Health said that Medex Rebeiro who hails from Region One – Barima-Waini served the public health sector for some 25-plus years. She started off her career as a Professional Nurse and later succeeded in the Medex training programme. In 2016, she was appointed Chief Medex for Guyana, a position she held until her passing. Outside of her daily administrative functions, during her stint as Chief Medex, she organised and executed a number of medical outreach programmes across the coastland and hinterland regions of Guyana, the statement said.
“Medex Rebeiro was thoughtful and generous and the Ministry of Health has indeed lost a great soul. Her big personality will live on in our memories and we will truly miss seeing her at the office. We pray that her family finds the strength to cope during this difficult time”, the statement added.
