DR Frank Anthony, Minister of Health, met with Mr Corey Hancock, the newly appointed Country Director for the Mount Sinai Health System in Guyana, during a courtesy visit at the ministry’s Brickdam office on Tuesday.

The meeting forms part of the ongoing partnership between the Government of Guyana, the Mount Sinai Health System, and Hess Corporation, which was extended earlier this year to continue transforming the nation’s public healthcare system by 2030. Launched in 2022, the initiative aims to expand access to world-class healthcare services, particularly in vulnerable communities, and improve overall health outcomes nationwide.

Also present at the meeting were Dr Rachel Vreeman, Chair of the Department of Health System Design and Global Health at Mount Sinai; Mr David Plater, Director of Operations and Global Site Development and outgoing Country Director, Mr Josue Alcantara.

The courtesy visit provided an opportunity for both parties to discuss strategic priorities, ongoing projects and collaborative efforts to strengthen Guyana’s healthcare infrastructure and service delivery.
