Officials at the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH) have not yet set a date for the resumption of elective surgeries, which were put on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
This was disclosed to Stabroek News by the Hospital’s Head of Strategic Planning and Communications, Chelauna Providence, who stated that the institution has yet to make an official decision and the matter is still being discussed.
Providence had told this newspaper in November that minor changes had to be made to the hospital’s day-to- day operations following the emergence of the pandemic and the subsequent establishment of a COVID-19 Intensive Care Unit at the GPH. She had reported then that elective surgeries had to be postposed as part of the minor operational changes.
