We Mahaicony Creek residents still await the doctor that we were promised

Aug 28, 2015 Letters

Dear Editor,
We were very happy, when we had a visit by the Hon. Minister of Public Health and Regional Health Officer of Region #5 a few months ago, during the flood period in Mahaicony Creek, East Coast Demerara.
We had discussed numerous issues affecting our communities in the Mahaicony Creek, including: Doctor at the Heath Centre; price for paddy and other issues.
We the Residents of Mahaicony Creek are suffering from non-access to health care, because there is no doctor or medics at the health centre to provide service to the people of Mahaicony Creek. We are paying high cost for transportation to access health care at the Mahaicony Hospital.
The Minister of Health and the Regional Health Officer during their discussion with us, promised that the next week a doctor will be at the Health Centre to provide service to the residents in the Mahaicony Creek.
We have been trying since then unto to now to make contact with the Minister of public Health many times, which were very futile. His office said:” you have to make an appointment.’’ Residents of Mahaicony Creek are still waiting on the service of a doctor, promised by the Minister of Public Health.
We want to urge the new Government, please do not make promises that you cannot fulfil.We are now calling on our Region five Member of Parliament the Hon. Priya Devi Manickchand to make some additional representation for her people in the Mahaicony Creek.
Concerned Residents of Mahaicony Creek
