Welcome to Canada-Guyana Outreach Mission

After a 3-year hiatus due to the Covid pandemic, the CanGO medical team will be returning to Guyana to provide healthcare to the mostly indigenous peoples in the interior of the country. The dates of the Mission are March 23 to April 3.  The focus of this mission will be VIA testing, Developmental Disorders, Pediatrics and Pulmonology.  In preparation for this mission, three directors, i.e., Dr. Clare Mitchell (Medical Director), Conrad Joseph (member-at-large) and Yvonne Triesman (President), travelled to Guyana in May 2022 to meet with officials at the Ministries of Public Health, Foreign Affairs and Indigenous Peoples Affairs.  They also visited Kwakwani (Region 10), Warakaba and Akawini (Region 2).
