Speaking about the activity, Senior Vice President and former President of the BCCDA, Ryan Alexander, stated that the outreach is as a result of a visit made by the Chinese Ambassador to Berbice in February.
Alexander, who is the regional representative for the Chinese Association said that during the visit, the Ambassador held discussions with the Chamber on a number of topics. One of the things discussed was the medical facilities in Berbice and the need to have resident doctors from China in the county. The medical needs of the ancient county were also discussed.
Nephrologist, Dr. Shen Jiansong, stated that there is need for more health education and for Guyanese to adopt a healthier lifestyle. He said, “More doctors should provide information on healthy living and Guyanese should be more cognizant about what they consume. This will go a far way in preventing certain diseases and conditions like hypertension and diabetes.”
