Berbice’s EMTs within a month of the commissioning of the emergency medical service offered on-the-spot assistance to a mother by delivering her baby in Region Six when they responded to a call.
The EMTs attached to the New Amsterdam Fire Station were called to a critical situation early on Saturday morning.
A statement from the Guyana Fire Service said yesterday that at approximately 7:39 a.m. on June 8, the crew, consisting of EMTs T. Smartt, J. Haney, and driver R. Porter, successfully assisted in a delivery.
