The Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) continues to ramp up its readiness to house and care for COVID-19 patients even as the number of cases continues to rise.
As Guyana continues to fight against the spread of the global pandemic, the country’s largest public hospital which is currently the main hub for treatment and care for persons who have tested positive for the virus is continuing works in an effort to prepare for every possible outcome.
This disclosure was made by GPHC’s Communications Manager, Chelauna Providence, who told Stabroek News recently that all of the necessary measures are currently in place at the hospital to care for those who have contracted the disease. She informed that what is currently ongoing is continuous training for staff at the hospital to ensure that they are sensitised and ready. “The only thing that is ongoing is training for our staff, so that we can have more staff who are specifically trained to deal with patients who are COVID positive and even suspected cases,” Providence explained.
