As part of plans to tackle the current human resource crisis which he acknowledged Guyana is faced with, President Irfaan Ali has announced that talks are being held to source nurses from Cuba to fill the gap in the local health sector.
He was at the time responding to questions from the media at a press conference held at the Office of the President yesterday.
He said that one of the main issues currently plaguing the Caribbean is the outward movement of nurses and other health workers; pointing out that only yesterday he met with some of the nurses of the Georgetown Public Hospital who are doubling up on shifts because of the shortage.
