Minister of Health, Dr Frank Anthony on Friday commissioned a state-of-the-art health centre at Supply, East Bank Demerara.
Constructed at a cost of $45.3 million, the fully-equipped facility will service approximately 6,500 residents in the Supply and other neighbouring villages on the East Bank, a release from the Ministry of Health said.
Dr Anthony said the facility was opened to deliver primary health care and rehabilitation services.
“This is just another step in the journey that we will be taking as we improve health across the country and for all Guyanese”, he said during his brief remarks.
The health centre will also assist in the fight against chronic and non-communicable diseases by treating patients or making referrals for tertiary care where necessary.
A Family Medicine Resident and a General Medical Officer have been assigned to the newly built health facility.
