The Guyana Police Force (GPF) on Saturday, November 29, in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, hosted a comprehensive Community Health Fair for shoppers and residents in the Water Street, Muneshwer area.
The initiative forms part of the GPF’s, ongoing commitment to community policing—strengthening public trust, improving quality of life and fostering meaningful engagement through strategic partnerships.
The joint outreach offered a wide range of essential, free health services, including medical vouchers; general medical check-ups; blood pressure and blood sugar testing; eye care and vision screening; nutritional counselling and wellness education; vaccination services and public health awareness activities.
Superintendent L. Smith of the GPF Community Relations Department underscored the significance of the event, stating: “Our mission extends beyond crime prevention; it is about building a safer and healthier community. By partnering with the Ministry of Health, we are bringing critical health services directly to the residents of Water Street and the Muneshwer area, fostering a strong bond of trust and mutual respect. We encourage all residents to take advantage of these vital, free services.”
A representative of the Ministry of Health reaffirmed the Ministry’s commitment to accessible healthcare: “The Ministry is committed to ensuring every Guyanese has access to quality primary healthcare. Collaborating with the Guyana Police Force allows us to reach citizens in a truly community-focused setting, promoting preventative care and early detection, which are crucial for national well-being.”
