As plans are being streamlined to reconstruct the recently gutted Ministry of Health, the governmental organisation came in for some much needed endowment on Thursday.
Items including desks, chairs, bed frames with mattresses, bookshelves, closet ceiling fans, dust bins and file labels were donated to the Ministry by Food for the Poor Guyana Inc.
Making the donation was Managing Director of the entity, Leon Davis, who noted that while the items were not specially brought in for the Ministry, the humanitarian organisation upon hearing of the destructive fire, was ready and willing to render support.
“We are proud to be of assistance to the Ministry of Health at this time, but our heart is a bit heavy under the conditions we are giving these furnishings.
We have an interpersonal relationship with the Ministry over a number of years.”
He further related that Thursday’s endowment was only the beginning of the support to the Ministry. In another few weeks “we will give more so that they could take care of the health of our nation.”
In receiving the endowment, Minister within the Health Ministry, Dr Bheri Ramsarran, said that the items will come in handy.
He said that Government has already started to mobilise resources to rebuild even as he highlighted that any support to that cause would be much appreciated.
