MINISTER of Public Health, Volda Lawrence, was on hand on Thursday for the official launch of the Courts Guyana Incorporated’s newly opened Sleep Centre.

The centre, which features viscoelastic foam mattresses and accessories in the Tempur-Pedic to Posture-Pedic lines will appeal to persons who suffer from lower back and shoulder pains as well as from stiff necks from sleeping on poor-quality mattresses.

In a release, the Department of Public Information said Minister Lawrence thanked the company for the initiative and noted the product which is being introduced, is vital to a good night’s sleep, which in turn plays a fundamental role in maintaining good health and well-being. “I express my gratitude on the behalf of the Ministry of Public Health, because this product that you are about to [launch in] the Guyana market is quite significant to the health of the people of Guyana.” Minister Lawrence said. She noted that this initiative is in keeping with the ministry’s 2020 health vision.
