HEALTH care delivery will be significantly boosted at  Suddie Hospital on Essequibo Coast with the addition of 22 intern doctors being added to the staff.
The interns, who recently returned from Cuba, are on attachment to the hospital until July 2013, after which they will graduate.
Administrator of Suddie Hospital, Mr. B. Ramnarine, during a meeting in the Hospital Boardoom on Monday, called on them to be committed, dedicated and display a true sense of love for the job.
He urged them to do their best and comply with the rules and regulations of the institution.
Ramnarine said the interns will be monitored by supervisors and would be working along with Cuban specialists.
Chairman of Region Two (Pomeroon/Supenaam), Mr. Parmanand Persaud welcomed the doctors and congratulated the Governments of Guyana and Cuba for signing the bilateral agreement in an effort to allow young Guyanese the opportunity to study in a foreign country.
He challenged the young doctors to give of their best while serving the people of Essequibo.
Persaud called on them to always remember why they wanted to be doctors.
This Government, since it took office in 1992, has invested hundreds of billions of dollars in providing quality and free health care for all Guyanese.
New and modern hospitals, health centres and huts were constructed while existing ones and others were rehabilitated and new equipment installed.
The Government also constructed several diagnostic centres which have greatly improved the delivery of health care services.
The Government, in collaboration with the Cuban Government, has trained hundreds of new doctors and nurses to provide health care and services to the people of Guyana at the  hospitals, health centres and huts across the country.
