The Department of Public Information (DPI) says that a sod-turning ceremony for a state-of-the-art hospital in the Moruca Sub-district in the north west took place yesterday.
The hospital, expected to cost some $4.435 billion is to be funded by the Government of Guyana in collaboration with the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), with the 57,210-square foot facility expected to be constructed during a 24-month timeframe by PCI Sinopharmintl Consortium.
President Irfaan Ali, who delivered the feature address at the site, said that the hospital will usher in a new era for Moruca and its residents.
