President Donald Ramotar said that Government is supportive of any initiative that will expand and develop the society and enable a better and fruitful life for citizens. President Ramotar made this statement at the Canadian High Commissioner’s residence at a reception on Sunday evening in honour of the opening of the Doobay Renal Centre.
Ramotar in expressing pleasure over the opening of the centre said he was happy that it has created an avenue whereby Guyanese, no matter their social provisions would be able to access a medical service that is most often only available to the rich.
The President said that the provision of such an opportunity is a focus of the Government’s vision for the country and, that is why more than 30 per cent of the budget goes to the social sector where it has the biggest affect on the ordinary man.
Government will continue in these efforts, President Ramotar said and, it is his hope that as the country’s economy expands, the there would be further developments for the benefit of all Guyanese. President Ramotar said that health is one of the basic fundamentals that the Government must provide if it expects the Guyanese people to have a better and fruitful life.
The President said that the investors in the Renal Centre would have made probably one of the best investments that they could have ever made having invested in lives. He added that by making a contribution to life, the investors would have further assisted in making Guyana a productive and stronger society that is capable of achieving almost anything.
Canadian High Commissioner David Devine said that it is good to see others come together to create an avenue so that others can now have access to better global healthcare. He said that he was particularly proud and gratified that medical personnel from Canada would have been a part of creating this opportunity for Guyanese.
The Doobay Renal Centre was officially opened on Sunday, January 29, on the East Coast Demerara.
