Guyana Watch returns to Guyana for its 20th medical mission

Jul 15, 2012 News

For the 20th consecutive year the Guyana Watch team will be continuing its humanitarian mission in Guyana as they gear up for this year’s medical outreach programme.
The medical clinics are scheduled to start on Saturday, July 21, at the Patentia Secondary School, West Bank Demerara. The following day the team of medical personnel and the support staff will head to the Timehri Primary School to offer its services to the residents of Timehri and the surrounding communities including Santa Mission and Kuru Kuru.
On Monday July 23, residents of St. Cuthbert’s Mission and other communities in the Mahaica River can visit the St. Cuthberts Mission Primary school and meet the team.
The team will then visit the Tain Primary School on Wednesday, followed by the Bath Settlement Primary School on Thursday. These two clinics will seek to serve Albion, Rose Hall and most of the Corentyne Coast, Berbice.
On Friday the team will wrap up its visit with the final clinic at the Leonora Primary School to serve that and other surrounding communities on the West Coast of Demerara.
During this year’s visit the team will include three dentists, nine medical doctors, a pharmacist and support staff.
During its mission here last year the team saw in excess of 2,500 patients with various complaints. The team also dispensed drugs for ailments that included fungal infections, common colds, high blood pressure and diabetes.
Follow up treatment was also given to ten persons who were identified for overseas treatment.
Guyana Watch Inc. is a non-profit Organisation and all of the members of the medical team volunteer their services.
