The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has waived the requirement for an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for the proposed US$29 million specialty hospital in Providence.
Once approved the private entity will be run by Nightingale Super Specialty Hospital Inc (NSSH), a company registered in 2021. NSSH is said to be the first in Guyana and third in the Caribbean to be accredited by the Joint Commission International (JCI), a US-based non-profit organization that accredits medical services around the world.
According to the project summary, NSSH is expected to be completed over a nine to 24-month period at Parcel No 3870 Block III Plantation Providence. It will be a 100-bed facility aiming to provide Guyanese with a high quality of medical services.
