– Dr. RamsaranAlluding to his belief that there have been several regular attempts to embarrass the administration, Minister of Health, Dr. Bheri Ramsaran, has insisted that his Ministry will be unrelenting when it comes to the delivery of health care.As part of this effort, local training programmes to bolster the quota of health workers will be a sustained feature.Dr. Ramsaran made reference to the notion that “there have been attempts to regularly embarrass the administration by saying our salaries are poor and we can’t keep our people… our best nurses are in the Caribbean and right across the globe, but if we didn’t train them they couldn’t get them. If some of the islands that are getting some of our best nurses had to train our nurses they could not afford to pay them, but that is another discussion… on how we train and retain our personnel, so it is good that we have our local programmes.”Recently, the Ministry came under criticism from the Guyana Nurses Association for having insufficient tutors to instruct the increasing number of nurses that require training. However the Minister has ascertained that the spate of training is inevitable.In addition to training programmes, the Minister said that his Ministry has commenced collaboration with a number of individuals and organizations to help expand its delivery of health care service.The Ministry, he revealed, had just recently commenced collaboration with the management of the Fogarty’s Shopping Centre, Water Street, Georgetown,Tyrell Williams Chargers Jersey, with a view of securing space there to offer vision screening and cervical cancer screening along with other health services.“The Ministry is reaching out more and more and we need also to get into the densely populated areas,Casey Hayward Chargers Jersey,” the Minister noted, pointing out that over the past 10 days a team has been addressing the health care needs of 1,000 citizens in the Cane Grove area with emphasis on the school children and “they have been doing dental work and vision screening.”Recently, optometry care was offered on the Essequibo Coast and Linden through a collaborative effort between the Ministry, the Guyana Association of Optometrists and the University of Guyana’s Faculty of Health Sciences and the University of the West Indies.According to the Minister,Denzel Perryman Chargers Jersey, “it is never a burden to deliver health care, especially eye care, and we have been doing a lot of things in this area.” He noted that outreach activities, which have been very robust are important,Branden Albert Dolphins Jersey, since Guyana is made up of very peculiar terrain which is as large as the United Kingdom, even as he pointed to the fact that “everybody wants the same treatment, so it is a strain on our budget and the human resource, and that has forced us to introduce more training programmes…We have been successful at this,Seth Joyner Eagles Jersey, but at the same time there has been attrition…”Nevertheless, he commended the efforts of the University of Guyana’s Faculty of Health Sciences, which has been regularly producing health professionals who have been serving the health sector well.“I congratulate our university because sometimes some people find it difficult to accept that our home teaching is good.”The Minister during a recent interview with this newspaper said that “it will not be business as usual at the Ministry of Health,” as according to him, high on his agenda for the Ministry is equity of access,Koa Misi Dolphins Jersey, value for dollar of investment, quality services and clientele satisfaction.These issues, he noted,Ron Jaworski Eagles Jersey, are recognized as crucial factors that will be addressed under his watch in the drive for improved delivery of health care. Dr. Ramsaran revealed that his ministry is already looking at ways to bring more services to far-flung communities even as he insisted that the established urban and other developed centres will no longer be the only focus.However, in the event that services are not available in some areas, the Minister revealed that systems are being created to bring much needed assistance in this regard, to patients. This, he said,Michael Thomas Dolphins Jersey, will occur in instances when it is discovered that it is not financially feasible for certain services to be taken to some communities. And this strategic move will be effectively accomplished through the Ministry’s Medical Evacuation Programme, which sees some $20M being expended on an annual basis to facilitate the operation of just over 100 flights, Dr. Ramsaran disclosed.He added that this has been of great benefit to many Amerindians in the hinterland communities suffering from health challenges such as complicated pregnancies, acute surgical conditions, snake bites, gunshot wounds and other injuries.Equity of Service is also made possible through the Ministry’s Medical Outreach programme, which the Minister said is being constantly bolstered through expanded training programmes where more health professionals such as nurses, doctors and medexes are being added to the health sector.He pointed out that although the requisite level of service may not be available in far-flung communities,Josh Lambo Chargers Jersey, the Ministry is able to periodically take the necessary personnel, equipment and supplies to those communities.“We hope to take our visiting teams more frequently and with less and less intervals between them…and in the cases where we cannot take those teams or the patient is in such a critical condition we are able to do medical evacuation, to a center of excellence,” the Minister asserted.
