On Monday the first batch of 29 persons graduated from the Pharmacy Assistant Course in Region Six, which is being offered by the Ministry of Health through the Health Science Education Division.
The graduation for the nine-month course was held at the Regional Health Facility in New Amsterdam.
Minister of Health, Dr. Frank Anthony, encouraged the graduates not to stop there and to think about exploring the possibility of moving “from being a Pharmacy Assistant to now thinking about doing Pharmacy, and there is a three-year programme at the University of Guyana.”
Meanwhile, Regional Chairman, David Armogan urged the graduates to always display a kind attitude towards patients, and to build a healthy working environment for themselves.
According to him “Region Six should always make sure that we have a steady supply of skilled and trained persons to take up these important positions in our society. This is an important batch for us, because not much persons are in this field in the region.”
These individuals will be placed at the various health facilities in the region.
