As part of its efforts to expand healthcare accessibility in the hinterland of Guyana, the government has commissioned a telemedicine unit in the village of Waramuri, located in the Moruca sub-district, Region One.
A Department of Public Information (DPI) release on Wednesday said that this system is designed to offer the residents of Waramuri access to a wide range of specialised medical services such as ultrasounds, cardiology and oncology among other services. It would also allow community health workers and medexes to access the expertise of doctors and specialists by connecting with specialists at the Georgetown Public Hospital and other secondary health institutions via electronic tablets and other medical electronic devices, the release explained.
