Lusignan boy for first kidney transplant

Guyana’s first kidney transplant will be done on a Lusignan boy and surgery is scheduled for July 12 at the Georgetown Public Hospital and will be led by a team of doctors from New York aided by local medical staff, said Health Minister Dr. Leslie Ramsammy.

After disclosing news about the ground-breaking local procedure last week, Ramsammy said yesterday that the patient is a young boy from Lusignan, East Coast Demerara whose donor is his mother.
