Meeting with the Minister of Public Service
The British Guyana Chamber of Commerce hosted a meeting with the Minister of Public Service, and we were grateful to be in the room. The session covered the ministry’s work on modernising public service delivery in Guyana and the role the private sector can play in supporting it.
What we took away
The pace of change inside government is real. There is serious work happening on digitisation, on bringing services closer to citizens across the regions, on training and skilling the public service workforce, and on tightening how implementation is measured. The conversation made clear that Guyana’s growth is being matched by a deliberate effort to modernise the institutions that have to keep up with it.
Why this matters to Voxxil
A few threads were directly relevant to the work we do. The push toward better, integrated records and faster, more transparent citizen-facing services overlaps naturally with where healthcare software is heading. Voxxil-HIS and our clinical and AI quality validation work are built for that direction of travel.
We also appreciated the ministry’s openness to working with the private sector on training and capacity building. Voxxil’s engineering team is mostly Guyanese, and we feel the workforce question acutely. Conversations like this one are how the connectivity between training, employers, and the country’s growing technology sector gets built.
A note of thanks
To the Minister and his team for the time and the candor, and to the British Guyana Chamber of Commerce for convening the meeting: thank you. If you are working on similar threads and would like to compare notes, we are easy to reach.
