Dead: Carl ‘Max’ Hanoman

Former Minister of Health Dr. Frank Anthony expressed surprise at Hanoman’s passing and fondly remembered the contributions he made, even as he lamented the blow to the medical fraternity.

“I have had the privilege working with him and serving at the Guyana Medical Association. He was not only a good medical practitioner but very very good in teaching and fostering that transfer of knowledge he had. Many of the doctors today were trained by him and he enjoyed the profession and the teaching. Dr. Hanoman was a mentor to many. So to say it is a tremendous loss for the medical fraternity would not even do it justice, I think,” he said.
