Junior Communities Minister visits Lindeners in Cuban hospital

Minister within the Communities Ministry, Valerie Patterson-Yearwood last week visited a Guyanese patient, Crystal John at the Oncology Hospital in Havana, Cuba.
John is from the mining town of Linden. She is in high spirits and her father, who is there with her, is very optimistic that she will be able to regain sight in one eye.
The Minister also visited Milton Gilkes of Silvertown, Linden, who is also a patient at the same hospital. He has shown positive signs of recovery.
Meanwhile, at the Guyana Embassy, Minister Patterson-Yearwood met with a group of overseas-based Guyanese who are members of the Guyana/America Chamber of Commerce. The group is visiting Cuba.
The Minister held a brief discussion with the group on the Government housing programme, particularly with regard to the Providence Garden housing drive.
Much interest was expressed by the group in this initiative.
