Overseas mission offers FREE medical services in rural Guyana
A variety of medical services will be offered free of cost to citizens from today at the Project Dawn Liliendaal, Greater Georgetown, facility. This medical move comes as part of the efforts of medical experts attached to Deskan Institute and Training Medical Mission which has been travelling to Guyana to render such services for the past 10 years.

Though based primarily in the United States and Canada, the Mission which includes a number of medical practitioners with Guyanese roots, has been offering paediatrics, cardiology, ear, nose and throat among other services.
A team of professionals, led by Dr Joan Liverpool who specialises in Community Medicine, arrived in Guyana last Friday and has already started rendering services to members of the public.
Residents at Leonora, West Coast Demerara, were exposed to the medical expertise over recent days and there are plans to travel to the Fort Wellington Hospital which has over the years accommodated the visiting experts’ mission. They have also provided services to the Parika area over the years as well.
However, this is the first time that the mission will be offering its services out of the Project Dawn location. The free services will continue until tomorrow there and in Fort Wellington.
The mission is known to attend to in excess of 200 individuals per day. According to Dr Liverpool, while service will start from around 09:00 hours at Project Dawn and 07:00 hours at Fort Wellington “we usually stay at a location until we would have looked at the last patient.”
