According to Sharir Chan, Head of the GCS, some 200 patients were seen by a medical team which comprised of urologists, HPV technicians, general doctors, and ophthalmologists. Some 300 medical services were provided to the patients and 200 hampers distributed by Food for the Poor and Aslam Baksh and Family.
The Guyana Cancer Society has promised to return to Moraikobai before the year ends for another medical outreach-this time focusing on dental health. “Dental health was excluded this trip because of the need for instruments”, the Cancer Society explained.
Sharir Chan said that one of GCS partners, “The Guyana Medical Relief” has two mobile dental units available but is working on acquiring enough instruments so that it can be able to conduct dental outreaches independently. Moraikobai medical outreach was made possible via a collaborative effort by GCS, the Guyana Medical Relief, the US Embassy Humanitarian Assistance Programme, the Ministry of Health, the Region Five Regional Health Department and the Surgical Associates.
