The United States’ Lesser Antilles Medical Assistance Team (LAMAT), in partnership with Guyana’s Ministry of Health, will perform surgical operations, provide dental services, and conduct professional knowledge exchanges through March 3.
A release yesterday from the US Embassy said that this was part of the US Southern Command’s (USSOUTHCOM’s) Enduring Promise mission. The mission began yesterday.
LAMAT is a medical team comprised of approximately 29 U.S. Air Force and Army medical and dental professionals and support staff who will provide free general surgery, emergency room care and dental care at Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation and West Demerara Regional Hospital.
