MINISTER of Health, Dr. Frank Anthony, on Wednesday met with Mr. Fernando Varela, Economic and Commercial Counsellor of the Embassy of Spain covering Guyana, to discuss potential areas of collaboration aimed at strengthening Guyana’s health sector.
The meeting, held at the Ministry of Health’s Brickdam office, focused on opportunities for bilateral co-operation, particularly in light of recent engagements between Guyana and European Union member states.
Mr. Varela conveyed Spain’s keen interest in supporting Guyana’s ongoing health sector development, citing the country’s strong growth and commitment to improving healthcare delivery nationwide. He also highlighted potential areas for collaboration following a recent EU trade mission to Guyana, noting Spain’s willingness to partner on projects that could enhance medical infrastructure, training, and technology transfer.
Minister Anthony welcomed the expression of interest and emphasised the government’s commitment to working with international partners to build a more resilient and modern healthcare system.
The meeting forms part of the Ministry’s broader effort to deepen partnerships with countries and organisations that can contribute to advancing Guyana’s public health goals, including improved access to quality care, capacity building, and innovation in health services delivery.
