Constructed within the compound of the hospital, the 25 feet by 16 feet building is to be used as a storage bond for non-pharmaceutical supplies.
The gift was the latest given to the Mahaicony Hospital by the GMR Inc. which had also donated buildings to house a Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid (VIA) clinic for testing of cervical cancer, the former X-Ray room, a mortuary, a dental waiting area as well as pharmaceuticals.
The building was handed over to the hospital by Chief Operating Officer of the GMR Inc., Sharir Chan, during a brief ceremony attended by staffers of both the New Amsterdam and Mahaicony Hospitals.
In brief remarks during the ceremony, Chan disclosed that GMR Inc. has over the past 30 years partnered with other NGOs to provide medicines and medical supplies to various hospitals in Guyana, including those at Linden, Mahaicony, Suddie, New Amsterdam, Bartica, and Georgetown. Davis Memorial and St Joseph’s Mercy Hospitals and several health centers have also benefitted.
Chan estimated that the organization has spent over US$50M on medical supplies and equipment for Guyana and on construction of facilities to improve the health care capabilities of local institutions to date.
