The Government of Guyana is in talks with the University of West Indies (UWI) about the establishment of a medical school in Guyana.
President Irfaan Ali made this announcement yesterday at the launch of the $474.6 million telepathology laboratory at Georgetown Public Hospital. Ali said that UWI approached the government with the proposal after he announced the intention of setting aside a building for teaching purposes at the US$161 million New Amsterdam Hospital, which is currently under construction.
So, were talking to the University of West Indies and moving the possibility of a school of medicine now to Region Six, that has the capacity of bringing students from Suriname. But importantly, in the negotiations, we are now working on ensuring that the rates are the same as local students in Trinidad and Tobago, so that there will be a level playing field, Ali announced.
