Dr. Dukhi opening $1B neuro centre
…investment to create more than 50 jobs, boost Guyana’s healthcare
(Kaieteur News) – The Guyana Office for Investment (GO-Invest) has facilitated a nearly GYD $1 billion investment by Neurospine Services Inc. to establish a state-of-the-art neurological and rehabilitative care facility, a move expected to create more than 50 jobs and significantly boost Guyana’s advanced healthcare capacity.
This strategic investment will establish a state-of-the-art, internationally certified Institute of Neurological Sciences and Rehabilitative Centre, with a second phase to include a 150-room nursing home and a medical storage and logistics complex. The facilities will provide advanced services in neurosciences, brain and spinal care, rehabilitative medicine, and geriatric nursing home care—further strengthening Guyana’s health-care ecosystem and improving access to highly specialised treatment.
Chief Investment Officer and Agency Head of the Guyana Office for Investment, Peter Ramsaroop, MP, handing over the Investment Agreement between Neurospine Services Inc. and the Government of Guyana to Dr. Amarnauth Dukhi, on Thursday morning.
At the helm of the centre is Neurosurgeon Dr. Amarnauth Dukhi, whose expertise and dedication have been instrumental in elevating and pioneering neurosurgical care in Guyana, a press release from GO-Invest said. The establishment of the first standalone neurological centre in the Caribbean is driven by its capacity to provide top-tier treatment to patients who previously had to travel abroad for complex spinal surgeries and intricate brain procedures.
Beyond serving Guyana’s growing demand for advanced neurological care, the facility is strategically positioned to support regional referral needs, strengthening Guyana’s role as an emerging hub for specialised health services in the Caribbean. According to GO-Invest, the project aligns with the Government of Guyana’s unprecedented national health-care transformation agenda, which includes the construction and upgrading of regional and specialty hospitals, expansion of diagnostic and treatment capabilities, major investments in digital health systems, medical education and training, and the decentralisation of services to ensure equitable access across all regions.

Peter Ramsaroop, Head of the Guyana Office for Investment, stated: “We are pleased to support Neurospine Services Inc. in bringing this transformative investment to Guyana. Specialty health care is a vital and growing sector, and projects of this nature not only create meaningful employment but also elevate the quality and availability of medical services for our people and the entire region. As Guyana continues to attract investments in advanced health care, we are building a healthier, more resilient future for all Guyanese.”
The institution will also include a dedicated rehabilitation centre and a paediatric care institute. Specialised diagnostic equipment will feature the region’s first GE Healthcare SIGNA Champion 1.5T wide-bore MRI machine, fully powered by AI technology. Construction is progressing on schedule, with the facility expected to officially open by mid-2026. This investment also supports the Government’s broader strategy under the leadership of His Excellency President Dr. Mohamed Irfaan Ali to modernise Guyana’s health-care system through expanded infrastructure, technology adoption, and improved service delivery.
