A FIRST BATCH of around 50 Trinidad and Tobago doctors is bound for Guyana as part of a new partnership announced by Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar.

Speaking at the re-dedication ceremony for the Couva Children's Hospital on December 7, Persad-Bissessar said, “Our plan was to have it serve as a centre for Caricom and the Caribbean but Guyana has made so many hospitals we are partnering with Guyana now.

“Guyana will hire doctors from Trinidad and Tobago because we have so many well-trained doctors and with all new hospitals open up in Guyana we are working on a partnership.”
