The Georgetown Public Hospital Corpo-ration (GPHC) says it is now one step closer to providing open-heart surgery, with the return of surgeon, Dr. Pradeep Ramkoomar who is now the only open-heart surgeon for adults in Guyana.
This is according to a press release from the hospital which said that Dr. Ramkoomar has successfully concluded a three-year fellowship training in Cardiothoracic Surgery at the Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases, Madras Medical Mission, Chennai, India.
The hospital boasted Ramkoomar’s new specialization including beating-heart surgery and conventional on-pump bypass with exposure to robotics and minimally invasive cardiac surgery, which it said “signifies tremendous headway in the provision of world class healthcare” for Guyana.
