The farming community of Mibicuri located in Black Bush Polder, Corentyne, Berbice is now equipped with a standalone modern health centre, the Depart-ment of Public Information (DPI) said yesterday.
The centre was previously located in the same building as the Mibicuri Hospital. Several members of staff told DPI they welcome having a building of their own after working in cramped conditions for years.
Yvette Kertzious, a visiting social worker attached to the centre since 2011, said that “working at the previous health centre was a difficult task, reason being is because of space. There was no space for a private conversation with a patient since all staff and patients shared one room.”
