A CT scanner is soon to be installed at the Bartica Regional Hospital.
As soon as the scanner is operationalised, residents in need of scans in Regions Two, Three, Seven, Eight and Ten will be able to access the service free of charge.
Regional Health Officer (RHO) of the Cuyuni-Mazaruni Region, Dr. Edward Sagala, emphasised the importance of having such a critical piece of equipment functioning in that part of the country.
