The Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) last month successfully conducted its first kidney transplant surgery on a non-Guyanese patient.
At a press conference at the GPHC’s Resources Centre yesterday, it was announced that the surgery was performed on a Grenadian national, Dr. Germaine Bristol, who had been on dialysis for over nine years.
Head of the GPHC’s Nephrology Department Dr. Kishore Persaud stated that the country’s programme, which is only six years old, is celebrating the success.
