With a plan to improve overall healthcare services in Guyana, President Dr Irfaan Ali on Tuesday announced plans for health workers, especially mothers, to benefit from full day care services.
“To our health workers, we know the tireless hours that you put into your job and we are also working to ensure that by 2030, our health care system would provide child-friendly day care services for you,” the President revealed at an event at State House.
He further noted that many healthcare workers are mothers.
“These are all services we are going to integrate into our health care service to ensure that you too, the healthcare professional, that you too are taken care of in this equation, so that you can provide the best service every single day of your life,” the Head of State said.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, frontline workers, which included healthcare workers, benefitted from a subsidised day care initiative.
On Tuesday, President Ali charged that health professionals in Guyana “must be the best paid, you must be the most trained, and you must be the most respected in this region.”
“When we invest in our medical professionals, we invest in every Guyanese life.”
