Minister tours Cardiac Intensive Care Unit, GPHC

Public Health Minister Volda Lawrence wants the semi-autonomous Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) to adopt as a blueprint for other types of services it offers the public, the model used by the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU).

Lawrence, according to a release today from the Ministry of Public Health,  made the observation during a tour of the facility housed at the top floor of the institution where she viewed the progress of the CICU which is part of the Guyana Programme to Advance Cardiac Care (GPACC), in partnership with the Libin Cardiovascular Institute and Global Health and International Partnerships/University of Calgary, the MOPH and the GPHC.
