Several departments of the Skeldon Public Hospital, in Region Six, are expected to resume operation as the facility is expected to be placed on the Guyana Power and Light (GPL) grid this week.

Non-functioning departments at the hospital were highlighted at the start of the month at the Region Six Regional Democratic Council’s November statutory meeting after residents of Upper Corentyne had complained to the Regional Chairman David Armogan.

Armogan had told the council that he had received reports from residents that the X-ray, ultrasound and physiotherapy departments were not functioning.
