The Ministry of Health on Wednesday signed a Service Delivery Agreement with the Pan American Health Organisation/World Health Organisation (PAHO/WHO) to further strengthen the implementation of the Guyana One Health Project.

The agreement is financed through the World Bank’s Pandemic Fund and an International Development Association (IDA) Credit to the Government of Guyana.

The Guyana One Health Project is designed to strengthen the country’s capacity to prevent, detect, and respond to public health threats by upgrading laboratory systems, expanding disease surveillance, improving emergency preparedness, and reinforcing coordination across the human, animal, and environmental health sectors.
