Better health care for Berbicians looms
Berbice’s new state-of-the-art private hospital on the Corentyne, to be commissioned in a few weeks
Berbicians will soon have a choice when it comes to the delivery of quality healthcare services and may not have to put up with the much complained about services of the public hospital in New Amsterdam.
The region’s first state-of-the-art private hospital is to be commissioned in a few weeks.
The multi-million dollar facility will soon fully open its doors to members of the public, marking a new era in the delivery of healthcare in the region.
The hospital, which is headed by Dr Ryan Anamayah, is located at Belvedere Settlement, Corentyne, and is expected to offer several services that many Berbicians cannot access at the New Amsterdam Public Hospital.
Berbicians, have from time to time, traveled to the city to access private medical care at the St Joseph’s Mercy Hospital, Woodlands Hospital and Balwant Singh Hospital. All of the people approached for a reaction are excited about the new facility.
They lamented the long wait they have had to experience at the New Amsterdam Hospital and also the hassle they would sometimes face to get medical attention at that facility.
According to sources, the private hospital has already begun to offer x-ray services as well as a pharmacy which is open to the public.
In time, after its formal commissioning, other services would be made available. Government officials are expected to formally open the facility which is touted as a one of the biggest breakthroughs in medical services to Regions Five and Six.
