Guyana says farewell to Cuban doctors
Guyana said goodbye to another set of Cuban doctors who were here on a two-year contract serving at various hospitals and health centres across the country.

On Monday evening the doctors were treated to a reception dinner at the Sleep In Hotel.
Minister of Health, Dr. Bheri Ramsaran, told Kaieteur News that the ten doctors, who left, had completed a two-year contract. He explained that in some instances a doctor is given an extension when he is an exceptionally good operative.
He noted that this is in the case for the bio medical engineer whose contract was extended; because Guyana needed his expertise. He said that the Ministry of Health is inclined to make an adjustment for an additional year.
The minister further told Kaieteur News that another batch of 27 doctors had left earlier in the year. According to the minister at the end of the contract there is a planned process, where there is an overlap with the doctors.
He explained that the doctors would show the newcomers how things are done in Guyana. The Minister further noted that the doctors are spread across Guyana at all the hospitals and health centers. He noted that initiative has increased due to a partnership between the two countries.
