It is expected that its use will provide clear and cost-effective guidelines for the procurement and distribution of drugs, standardize health care, and ensure that all essential drugs to provide the highest standard of care are readily available,” added Cushing.He noted, too, “It will also contribute to the continued strengthening of the healthcare system in Guyana and ultimately to better health care outcomes for all Guyanese.”Standard Treatment Guidelines are the fundamental foundation upon which the whole health supply chain of a country is based, and Cushing stressed that compliance with these guidelines is imperative to the effective and efficient usage of pharmaceuticals and other medical supplies.He noted that the United States Government, through USAID, is pleased to contribute to the Ministry’s efforts to ensure that quality service, with the rational use of drugs, result in the provision of quality care for all people in Guyana.
