Region Nine has received three All-Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) from the Ministry of Health.

The vehicles were handed over by Dr. Frank Anthony, Minister of Health, during his visit to Region Nine (Upper Takutu-Upper Essequibo) last week.
The three brand-new ATVs, valued at $4 million each, were handed over to healthcare workers in Annai, Katoka, and Maruranau. This initiative is part of ongoing efforts to strengthen healthcare delivery in Region Nine.
The addition of these vehicles aim to improve transportation for medical personnel and the delivery of medical supplies to remote and hard-to-reach communities across the region.
Given the challenging terrain, which often limits timely access to care, the ATVs are expected to significantly enhance the region’s capacity to respond to emergencies, conduct outreach, and deliver essential health services.
