Doobay Medical Center moves closer to “international standards”
While Guyana is lagging behind in health care delivery, more and more organizations are seeking to make donations towards development in that field. One such organization is Seaboard which yesterday made a substantial monetary donation to the Doobay Medical Centre.

Seaboard Corp is the parent of the National Milling Company of Guyana Inc (NAMILCO). During yesterday’s presentation, NAMILCO’s Managing Director, Bert Sukhai, sought to note that Seaboard is a large Agro industrial company which has extensions in over sixteen countries; mainly in the African Continent.
Sukhai informed that the company has branches in Haiti, Ecuador and Colombia. He noted that in Haiti, the mill was completely destroyed by the earthquake but was rebuilt in just over one year.
“It is within that context that we have decided to contribute to a nonprofit making body such as the Doobay Medical Clinic, asserted Sukhai.
He said that Seaboard has noticed the many strides made by the clinic in a short time through bringing relief to kidney patients.
Sukhai said that he looks forward to seeing the progress in cardiovascular surgery in the future.
Chief Executive Officer of DMC, Vic Oditt said that he appreciated the gesture and noted that the donation will go towards expansion of the facility “as we strive to bring it to international standards.”
