We’re thrilled to announce the five-year extension of the National Healthcare Initiative in Guyana, a transformative collaboration with the Government of Guyana, Hess Corporation, and Mount Sinai Health System! This partnership will bring world-class health care to citizens across Guyana, paving the way for a healthier future.
“We’re not just improving health outcomes in Guyana for today—we’re working together to secure a healthier future for generations to come,” said Dr. Rachel Vreeman, Chair of Global Health and Director of the Arnhold Institute for Global Health, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
At yesterday’s signing ceremony, His Excellency Dr. Irfaan Ali, President of Guyana, praised the partnership: “Guyana’s health care system will stand as a model of excellence in the Caribbean and beyond. It will become the gold standard for health care services globally.”
Key highlights of the initiative include establishing a National Cancer Center, supporting a new Women’s and Children’s Hospital, expanding community-centered care, advancing a cutting-edge digital health system, modernizing health facilities, training a skilled healthcare workforce — and much more to elevate health care quality across Guyana.
We’re proud to partner on this groundbreaking effort to build a healthier future for all Guyanese citizens!
