GEORGETOWN, Guyana, SA – President of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana, David Granger and his wife, Ms Sandra Granger, Tuesday night, November 20, 2018, returned to Guyana from the Republic of Cuba after spending approximately three weeks there, undergoing medical treatment.

Cancer Diagnosis

While in Cuba, President Granger was diagnosed with Non- Hodgkins Lymphoma (a type of cancer) after an intensive series of tests by specialist doctors, at the Centro de Investigaciones Medico Quirugicas (CIMEQ) in Havana.

President Granger has since, once again expressed profound gratitude to all those who sent their well-wishes for his full and complete recovery.
