Dear Editor,
This is a country where rumours spread like wildfire. One such rumour is that the Medical Council is at loggerheads with the Ministry of Health over the inadequate information provided on the qualification of the Doctors from one of our socialist sister countries. It is also alleged that many of these Doctors working in this country are not registered by the Medical Council.
Although the Medical Council Act does not require that the Certificates of Doctors who are from a non English speaking country be translated into English for easy verification, it would only be prudent for such to be done.
Why is the Ministry of Health adamant in not seeking compliance with this request?
It is alleged that the other socialist sister countries which assist us with Medical Practitioners do supply the full CV with a translated copy in English.
Is the Ministry of Health willing to bend over backwards and overlook certain requirements which could be to the detriment of the People of Guyana?
News is also around that the Chief Medical Officer knew several years ago that there was a need for all foreign doctors to submit their qualifications in English. Yet he has been tardy in demanding the compliance, thereby enabling the Minister of Health to push for the amendment of the Medical Practitioners Act and reflect this new reality.
There are many other examples of shortcomings to be mentioned but no one wants to bell the cat because of a fear of victimization by the Administration. Such is the case of a prominent Lawyer who is being victimized by the Administration.
When will this end?
