The Government of Guyana has finalised plans with the Qatar Red Crescent Society for the 2025 Medical Convoys Mission, aimed at providing specialised medical care and building local capacity in the health sector.
Today, the Honourable Dr. Frank Anthony, Minister of Health, met with officials from the Qatar Red Crescent Society and the Embassy of the State of Qatar to confirm arrangements for the mission, which will be carried out at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC).
The initiative will provide advanced medical consultations and surgical procedures that are currently not available locally.

The 2025 Qatar Red Crescent Medical Mission represents a continued partnership between Guyana and Qatar to enhance healthcare access, training, and infrastructure for the local population.
