Onderneeming earmarked for Indian-funded hospital

Suddie Public Hospital

Officials from the Indian Government recently located a site along the Essequibo Coast [Region Two], where a state-of-the-art hospital is to be soon constructed.
The site which is proposed for the new hospital, is located within the vicinity of Onderneeming, less than a mile away from the Suddie Public Hospital. A visit was made to the site by officials, and a technical team from India, along with the Regional Executive Officer of Region Two, Rupert Hopkinson.
According to Chairman of the Region’s health and sanitation committee, Arnold Adams, the hospital is to be funded completely by the Indian Government, and works are expected to commence soon. This publication was not provided with a definite date for construction, or the cost of the project.
The Suddie Public Hospital is currently the leading hospital on the Essequibo Coast. This Hospital offers health care to persons living on the coastland, the Pomeroon and even Wakenaam [Region Three]. But being almost two decades old, the hospital has gradually grown unfit in providing the most effective and sufficient services. Exposed wires and cramped space are just two of the issues plaguing the facility.
One report indicates that a wall of the hospital’s upper theatre, may be unsafe due to exposed wires. It was also verified that as a result of the cramped space, two mothers at times are required to share a hospital bed.
