Health promotion center led by Chinese medical team established in Guyana

(ECNS) -- A health promotion center established by the 21st Chinese medical team to Guyana was officially inaugurated at the Ministry of Health of Guyana on Saturday.

Led by Zhu Qianrang, a public health expert of the medical team, the center marks a major expansion of China-Guyana medical cooperation in the public health sector.

During the inauguration ceremony, Chinese Ambassador to Guyana Yang Yang emphasized that the center fills a critical gap in local health promotion, showcasing China’s dedication to global medical aid.

China will continue to deepen practical cooperation with Guyana in the health sector, bringing more tangible benefits to the Guyanese people, Yang said.

Guyanese Health Minister Frank Anthony praised the timely initiative, noting it would successfully guide local residents toward healthier lifestyles.

Tackling the country’s high burden of chronic non-communicable diseases, Zhu spent six months bringing together various parties to get the project off the ground. The Ministry of Health of Guyana provided the venue, while Chinese enterprises Zijin Mining and Shandong Hi-Speed Dejian Group donated comprehensive facilities.

Equipped for health testing, screening, education, and fitness, the center will provide accessible health services to local public servants and surrounding residents, further strengthening the bilateral friendship.
