ALMOST two weeks ago, Ms Lotaya Ward, who hails from Linden, Region Ten, returned to Guyana, having graduated as a bio-medical engineer from the Centro Universitario Jose Antonio Echeverria (CUJAE), Cuba’s top Engineering University.

Before leaving Guyana for Cuba, she attended Mackenzie High School, and later worked at the Biomedical Department of the Georgetown Public Hospital.

Ms. Ward, a self-financing student for the academic year 2022-2023, now joins the growing contingent of health professionals in Guyana who have graduated from various Cuban universities.
