…upon return to Guyana
President David Granger has expressed his profound gratitude to his Cabinet members, staff and the rest of the nation for their support, prayers and well wishes for his complete recovery, at a welcome home and prayer ceremony hosted, on Wednesday morning, at State House.
“Thank you for your expressions of concern over the last three weeks… Throughout that time, I received greetings from you all and from other well-wishers and, more than the greetings, prayers and I am truly grateful,” he said.
The President also expressed gratitude to Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo and Minister of Foreign Affairs Carl Greenidge for continuing to govern seamlessly, during his absence.
President Granger and his wife, Mrs Sandra Granger on Tuesday evening returned to Guyana from the Republic of Cuba after spending approximately three weeks there.
The President, accompanied by his wife, had travelled to the Republic of Cuba on October 30, 2018 to undergo a medical investigation.
While in Cuba, President Granger was diagnosed with Non- Hodgkins Lymphoma after an intensive series of tests by specialist doctors at the Centro de Investigaciones Medico Quirugicas (CIMEQ) in Havana.
Given the diagnosis of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, the President’s Medical Team has performed a number of medical interventions including the first round of chemotherapy treatment. The President has responded well to the treatment and was given approval to return to Guyana.
