LGC sponsors charity Tournament for Doobay Renal Centre tomorrow

Nov 23, 2018 Sports

Tomorrow November 24, the Lusignan Golf Club will be sharing its heart and kidneys with the Doobay Renal (or Dialysis) Centre of 9 Courbane Park, Annandale, East Coast Demerara.
Spearheaded by Annandale-born professional golfer Jaipaul Suknanan and a cadre of humanitarian golfers including Haresh Tewari, Rabindranath Persaud, Mahendra Bhagwandin and others, the Club will host a Medal-Play Tournament at which at least some seven prizes, including overall Best Net, Best Net of each Flight and Nearest the Pin will be awarded to the winners. All of these golfers are expected to participate, and though pro-golfer Jaipaul has not yet won a tournament for the month, it is expected that he will be pulling all the stops to produce a superb play for the charity this weekend.
Some of those golfers, also born in Annandale, hail the significant contribution that the Renal Centre has been giving to the country since its beginning in September 15, 2011,with the vision by founder Dr Budhendranauth Doobay, a cardiovascular surgeon, to provide more affordable care for persons who needed dialysis. The 24-hour operational Doobay Medical Centre, telephone: 220-9762 or 220-9757, email:[email protected], is on record as being the most reasonable for treatment of patients requiring dialysis.
During a visit by First Lady Sandra Granger to the expanded Medical Centre in mid-January 2018, (an expansion funded primarily by the Canadian charity organisation, International Development and Relief Foundation (IDRF), the Beharry Group of Companies, the Doobay Medical Centre board of directors and Sattaur Gaffoor,) Dr Doobay shared that his vision for the facility would see it transformed into a mini-hospital providing specialised services in areas such as cardiac care and neurosurgery.
Noting that the November-December period is significant in Guyana with the three major religions extending cheer and goodwill over the season, it was considered apt to inject goodwill to a very gracious corporate citizen, the Doobay Renal Centre, which offers dialysis treatment at very reasonable cost. (In 2014 Dr Doobay had said that approximately 50 percent of the dialysis patients received a subsidy.) All proceeds from the Tournament will be donated to the Renal Centre.
Tee-off time for the Tournament is scheduled for 12:30hrs. The public is invited to enjoy the ambience of the Lusignan Golf Club and Course, free of cost, as this exciting tournament takes place.
