HAITI

A letter to the editor from Hubert Devonish, Charlene Wilkinson (both members of the GLU), Kesnel Toussaint and Jeuve Cherizol re. language support for Haitian arrivals in Guyana.

“We refer to the article in Kaieteur News, December 28, 2019, “40 Nurses at GPHC now fluent in French and Spanish”. We wish to question both the accuracy of the headline and the wisdom of training nurses in French for meeting the health needs of Haitian immigrants who attempt to access the facilities of the GPHC, as is stated in the article.”

GPHC, back to the drawing board on this one, Stabroek News (Jan 2020)
