Project narrative

On April 14, 2022, China’s Ambassador to Guyana Guo Haiyan and Guyana’s Minister of Health attended the opening ceremony of China’s resident physician training program in Guyana. The opening ceremony was also attended by Hu Hanming, Economic and Commercial Counselor of the Embassy, heads of Guyana training organizations, representatives of participating doctors, and the Chinese medical team members assisting Guyana. The monetary value of this training series is unknown. The training was given by the 17th Chinese medical team and doctors from Changzhou First People's Hospital. A total of 24 Guyanese doctors were trained in nephrology, pathology, obstetrics, gynecology, orthopedics and anesthesia. Training was provided through the combination of online and offline formats, and a combination of theory and practice. The training lasted 5 months and concluded on September 9, 2022. This training series is the result of a memorandum signed by China and Guyana for medical cooperation operations. Details on the memorandum are captured in Record ID#99963.
