Some 38 young people graduated recently as the first batch of Biomedical Technicians and are now equipped with a City and Guilds certificate, which enables them to provide much-needed support within the public health sector, according to a release from the Depart-ment of Public Information (DPI).
Last year when the ministry started the programme, it described it as a landmark initiative. DPI said that the diverse group of young people had already been dispatched to various hospitals across the country, wielding the innovative mindset and technical know-how to propel Guyana towards a more technologically advanced future.
According to the release, Esha Jaikaran, one of the graduates, shared that the programme was challenging yet rewarding. She highlighted the invaluable support she received from family and friends.
