Minister of Health, Dr. Frank Anthony says that Guyana has secured US$22 million to strengthen its healthcare research capabilities.
Anthony made this announcement while speaking at the 17th Medical Research Conference 2024, at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre (ACCC), Liliendaal, last Saturday.
A Department of Public Information (DPI) press release said that the funding will support health surveillance over the next three years, paving the way for further research advancements. Beyond financial support, DPI said that 30 doctors will be awarded scholarships by the Guyana Government to attend McMaster University in Canada. This opportunity is expected to broaden their research expertise and enable them to conduct advanced studies upon returning to Guyana.
