After a successful cycle of radiotherapy, President David Granger got back to Guyana late yesterday.
Kaieteur News understands that his treatment was executed without complication or hiccup. The team of doctors treating him expects the president to return to normalcy.
However, the doctors have cautioned that, at this time, the President should not take on a heavy workload, and that care must be taken when pursuing excessive public engagements.
He has been placed on a schedule of medication, and is expected to return to Cuba at a later date, for further treatment.
A release from the Ambassador of Guyana to the Republic of Cuba, Halim Majeed, states that President Granger has expressed much gratitude to Cuban President, Miguel Diaz-Canel, First Secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba, Raul Castro, First Vice-President of Cuba, Salvador Valdes Mesa, Foreign Minister, Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla, Cuban Ambassador in Guyana, Narciso Reinaldo Socorro, the Medical Team at CIMEQ (Centro de Investigaciones Medico Quirugicas), the CARICOM Caucus in Cuba, and others who’ve extended wishes for his full recovery.
The President had kept busy in Cuba. He reportedly visited the Cuban National Zoological Park, the National Botanic Garden of the University of Havana, and Escuela Taller de la Habana in Old Havana (a public vocational institute).
He also met with the President of Ghana, Nana Akufo-Addo, and the Cuban Foreign Affairs Minister, Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla, who congratulated him on his physical wellbeing and recovery.
