The Guyana Medical Mission (GMM) on Monday donated three patient monitors and a defibrillator to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation’s (GPHC) Accident and Emergency Unit, GINA said. Minister of Public Health Volda Lawrence expressed her gratitude for the medical equipment donated and hopes that there is a, “continued collaboration as we together strive to impact and achieve the desirable outcomes in the delivery of healthcare to all Guyanese from the cradle right through to the grave.”
Dr Balram Doodnauth, Head of the Accident and Emergency Unit acting, said that the donation will, “impact the staff and the overall outcome of GPHC and more so the care given to our nation.”
Representative of Guyana Medical Mission Clinton Williams stated that the items given are a part of a larger donation to the GPHC which consists of one Electrocardiogram (EKG) machine, one defibrillator and 20 pulse oximeters which were recently donated, GINA said.
The Guyana Medical Mission representative said that most of the mission’s work is done at the New Amsterdam Hospital.
The Guyana Medical Mission is a group of dedicated medical professionals who venture to the Caribbean each year, GINA said.
