Republic Bank, Ansa McAl honour New Year’s babies
There were two New Year bundles of joy at the New Amsterdam Hospital on January 1.
Munita Persaud from Ansa mc Al with mother Sharmilla Narine.
Radica Dayadat of Fyrish Village, on the Corentyne, brought forth her little baby girl at 1:45 hrs on New Year’s Day. Devika Narain of Miss Pheobe, Port Mourant also delivered her baby around 08:15 hrs that morning. However, her baby had to be put in an incubator for monitoring and special attention.
Republic Bank, New Amsterdam presented Radica Dayadat with hamper with lots of baby stuff including infant formula, clothing, baby care products, etc.
According to Branch Manager, Mr Imran Sacoor, the gesture is an annual one for the bank recognizing the first- born in the region. The bank has been doing this for the past three years. Similar gestures take place in Demerara and Essequibo.
Sacoor noted that the bank is offering the child an account once they register with the bank, and start with $20,000. “It’s under our Right Start Package where we are actually encouraging kids to start saving at a tender age”, he noted.
The Suddie Public Hospital Corporation recorded two new births on New Year’s Day, one at 3:20 and the second at 9:12 hours respectively.
Reports were that Sharmilla Narine, of Adventure, and Onesha Gill, of Airy Hall Village, Essequibo respectively gave birth to a healthy baby girl and to a boy on New Year’s Day. Because those two births were considered special, both babies received Teddies hampers, compliments of Ansa Mc Al.
Narine expressed overwhelming joy, having given birth on New Year’ s Day.”It’s the best gift one can get on New Year’s Day,” Narine said.
The delighted new mother and her husband haven’t decided on a name as yet.

Mother of two, Onesha Gill, said that she delivered her second son around 4:20 am on New Year’s Day.
The proud mother said although the pain was excruciating, the joy of delivering her second was indeed overwhelming. She said that her husband Malcolm Kingston was happy after receiving the happy news of the birth of their son. He regarded the baby as a gift from God.
The two mothers received hampers from Ansa Mc Al, Geddes Grant and Universal Pharmacy, of Suddie.
Representative of Ansa Mc Al, Sursattie Singh, said it has become a tradition for the company to present hampers to new born, on New Year’s Day.
