Kaieteur News: "Approximately 400,000 cases of influenza type illnesses were reported as at the end of last year within the Caribbean Region, particularly among CAREC member states. This development, Health Minister, Dr Leslie Ramsammy, said, is an indication that Acute Respiratory Infections have been a major problem in the Caribbean.
He revealed that about 50,000 of the 400,000 odd cases had emanated from Guyana in wake of the threat of the HINI virus commonly referred to as the Swine Flu which was first discovered last year in Mexico.
Just a few days ago it was reported that confirmed deaths resulting from the HINI virus globally had mounted to about 13,000. And according to Minister Ramsammy, the Region of the Americas probably has accounted for the most deaths when compared to the other regions of the world."
