As part of its annual Pinktober activities, the Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company (GTT) on Thursday distributed care packages to patients of the Oncology Unit at the Georgetown Public Hospital.
In a GTT release, Pinktober Coordinator Diana Gittens stated: “Being a cancer patient and having to go through screening and treatment can be difficult – but knowing you have support from persons, including corporate citizens – can help to make things a bit easier.” She noted that the pandemic has made cancer patients more vulnerable and GTT wanted to ensure they had the necessary supplies to maintain proper hygiene in the interest of both health and safety. She also reminded the public to make use of the treatment and care provided by the Oncology Unit. “Although treatment can sometimes be extremely tough, the supportive environment and excellent care makes the journey easier.”
