Dear Editor,
Has the government done more harm than good in opening a national visual health facility in Region Six? The National Ophthalmology Centre at Port Mourant just may be a very big mistake.
Since the facility would be helping persons to see clearer and better, would Berbicians, among other Guyanese, finally see the real picture – the big picture as to what really is going on in their country?
Would Guyanese, especially Berbicians, now have the clouds lifted from their eyes to a shocking reality which they did not see before?
The words by Regional Chairman of Region Six, Mr Mustapha, at the commissioning of the complex last Saturday, just might have been a foreshadowing of days to come, when things would be in clearer view to us Berbicians. 20/20 vision, in the words of the Chairman, it seems would be achieved in the very near future.
His words: “Many people will come here to get ‘dem’ eyes fixed.” It would be about time.
Yours faithfully,
Leon J. Suseran
