On Friday, thirty-five students from Region Eight (Potaro-Siparuni) graduated from the Ministry of Health’s Community Healthcare Workers (CHW) Programme, offered by the Health Sciences Education Division.
The graduation ceremony took place at the Roger Hinds Hotel in Mahdia, a release from the ministry said.
This cohort of CHWs represents the first to undergo training in the region, as the Ministry strives to decentralise its training initiatives.
Now that they have graduated, these individuals are expected to return to their respective communities, the release said.
