The Department of Public Information (DPI) yesterday said that President Irfaan Ali has expressed his displeasure at the slothful works at the Maternal and Paediatric Hospital, Ogle, East Coast Demerara and has instructed that these be expedited to facilitate a mid-2025 completion.

The hospital should have been finished around July this year.

The President issued instructions during a visit to the project site yesterday. “We are hoping that the contractor here will pick up some pace. We are not satisfied… and we are not going to shift our deadline on the completion of this hospital,” the president expressed.
