Govt hands over vehicles to strengthen regional healthcare services

Over the past few days, the Government, through the Health Ministry, handed over several vehicles as part of its continued efforts to strengthen healthcare delivery and improve access to essential health services across the country.

On Saturday, two vehicles were handed over to Regions Nine (Upper Takutu-Upper Essequibo) and one to Region 10 (Upper Demerara-Berbice) to support the respective Regional Health Services in carrying out critical health-related activities, including the transportation of healthcare workers, medical supplies and equipment, as well as facilitating outreach activities and access to communities.

During the handing-over, Health Minister Dr Frank Anthony emphasised the importance of ensuring that health teams, particularly those serving hinterland and remote communities, are equipped with the necessary resources to effectively carry out their duties.
