Essequibo needs a pathologist

Jan 28, 2014 News

While Essequibo continues to be dependent on the services of a pathologist outside of the Region whenever there are deaths regarding comprehensive police investigations, A Partnership For National Unity Regional Councillor, Wazeer Latiff, is of the view that the Region should have a pathologist operating permanently on the Essequibo Coast.
For a number of years now, Essequibians have been forced to depend on the services of Dr. Nehaul Singh, who has to travel from Georgetown to perform post mortem operations.
Latiff has argued that more students should be trained in this field, since there are very few pathologists to serve the entire country, determining the cause of deaths of victims.
The councillor stressed that Essequibo needs a pathologist operating in the Region and to stop being dependent on Dr. Nehaul Singh. “More people should be trained in that area.”
Latiff have brought this concern to the Regional level.
Dr. Singh is summoned to the Coast by the police whenever there is a crime case. However, while his visits are not frequent, families are often forced to delay burials.
