The field hospital that was recently donated to Guyana is now expected to be set up in the compound of the Centre for Infectious Disease at Liliendaal instead of the West Demerara Regional Hospital as was previously announced.
The change in location was announced by the Health Minister, Dr Frank Anthony during Wednesday’s COVID-19 update during which he stated that following careful consideration, a decision was made to have the hospital set up at the Ocean View facility’s compound instead of at West Demerara.
On Monday he had said that the hospital would be set up in the compound of the West Demerara Regional Hospital. During Wednesday’s update he added that initially they had earmarked that compound after assessments were done and spaces were identified.
