A total of $84.9 billion has been budgeted to improve the health sector this year.
“In 2023, we will witness a vast transformation of infrastructure in the public healthcare system,” Minister of Finance Dr Ashni Singh said during the 2023 budget presentation yesterday.
This year, according to Singh, the Ministry of Health (MoH) will advance infrastructural works for the paediatric and maternal hospital and six regional hospitals. A maternal waiting home at Mabaruma is expected to be completed later this year.
