GUYANA will be hosting a reunion of the prestigious Howard University Hospital Medical Association from January 16 to 21, Head of the Presidential Secretariat, Dr. Roger Luncheon announced yesterday.
Speaking at his weekly post-Cabinet media briefing in Office of the President, Shiv Chanderpaul Drive, Georgetown, he said a team of more than 40 Washington DC-based area medical practitioners will include Guyana’s very own David Aubrey Gooray from Essequibo.
According to Dr Luncheon, the mission is medical education and the team will deliver six hours of lectures to hundreds of Guyanese medical practitioners at the Guyana International Convention Centre.
This will be done over two days of activities on January 17 and 18 and the group will also be exploring the forging of professional and academic ties with the medical staff at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC).
During their reunion, the team would host a special event on January 20 to honour the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King (Jnr).
That would take place at 09:00hrs in the Pegasus Hotel and the visitors would depart Guyana on January 21.
