President David Granger, who was recently diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, returns to Guyana on Tuesday following his medical treatment in Cuba, according to an official statement issued here.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Guyana Embassy in Cuba said that since his diagnosis, the President\u2019s medical team here has \u201cperformed a number of medical interventions\u201d and that Granger has received the first round of chemotherapy treatment and \u201chas responded very well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith the President\u2019s highly specialized medical care and treatment for nearly three weeks \u2013 and his positive response to the medical interventions and treatment \u2013 his medical tam of Cuban specialists has given approval for him to travel to Guyana,\u201d the Embassy said in a statement.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n\n\n\n

It said that Granger will leave here on Tuesday arriving in Georgetown in the evening.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

But it said that Granger \u201cmay be required to return to Havana in a time prescribed by his medical team in order to examine and evaluate the progress of his recovery \u2013 and to extend his schedule of treatment\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The statement said nonetheless that President Granger \u201ccontinues his daily routine of work, treatment and rest under the supervision of his medical team\u201d and that earlier this month he met with Cuba\u2019s First Vice- President, Salvador Valdes Mesa and the Vice-Minister in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MINREX), Ana Teresita Gonzalez Fraga, \u201cto discuss a number of matters of mutual interest\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The statement said that President Granger, wishes to reiterate \u201cpublicly his deep appreciation\u201d to the Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel Bermuda, Army General Raul Castro Ruz as well as other senior Cuban government officials \u201cfor the excellent arrangements that were put in place for his arrival in Cuba and his subsequent extraordinary medical treatment\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It said Granger also wanted to thank Guyanese nationals at home and abroad, as well as his Caribbean Community (CARICOM) colleagues and others who \u201csent their best wishes for his full and complete recovery \u2013 and his speedy return to Guyana to again serve the national interest.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe is ever grateful for their prayers and support,\u201d the statement noted.<\/p>
