The Guyana-Jamaica Friendship Association (GJFA) a US-based non-profit organization has promised help to both Suddie Hospital and the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation.
At a simple ceremony on Monday, Association Member Dr. Nadia Ramdin, a cancer specialist in Pennsylvania, USA, presented Medical Superintendent of the Suddie Hospital Dr. Sonia Gray, a fetal heart monitor probe which would be of great benefit to pregnant patients at the Suddie Hospital.
Dr. Ramdin promised that there would be other medical equipment donated to the Suddie Hospital in the near future as well as increased collaboration between her hospital in the US and Suddie Hospital which would benefit cancer patients from Guyana.

President of GJFA, Dr. Frank Denbow, said that GJFA plans to step up its programme of cooperation with the Guyanese Medical Community with Biennial Medical Symposia and annual Medical missions particularly to the Essequibo Coast of Guyana.
