EML’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Andrew Boyle did not hesistate to support 28 young Guyanese in the form of PCR testing, free of cost, to attend the Games.

The tests were conducted on Monday, November 22, at the company’s Head Office in Georgetown.

Mr. Boyle sees this gesture as part of the company’s Corporate Social Responsibility and was pleased when the Guyana Olympic Association reached out to him, since this demonstrates confidence in the work of the Lab.

Guyana will be competing in the following sport disciplines: Badminton, Boxing, Squash, Table Tennis, Athletics, Weightlifting and Swimming.
