PRESIDENT, Dr. Irfaan Ali, on Monday, announced salary adjustments for health workers, as part of the government’s ongoing efforts to improve working conditions for medical professionals.
The Head of State made the disclosure at the commissioning of the state-of-the-art De Kinderen Regional Hospital in Region Three (Essequibo Islands-West Demerara)
“To our nurses and medical workers, we worked with you in adjusting your salaries, adjusting your scales outside of increases that you would have had. I said to you then that was the first phase of adjustments,” the President said.

He added: “Before the end of this year, adjustments will be made for our nurses and other medical workers so that you can not only have better salaries, better welfare, better conditions of work. You know when we say we will do it; it will be done.”

The announcement forms part of a broader initiative aimed at enhancing both the remuneration and working environments for medical professionals across the country.
The government has reiterated its commitment to ensuring that health workers receive fair compensation in recognition of their critical role in national development.
