The Government of Guyana and the Giving Health to Kids Organization (GHTK) will be working towards a sustainable Neonatal Network at all regional hospitals, including in the hinterland.
A release yesterday from the Ministry of Health said that the government and GHTK established a partnership more than 10 years ago which it said has assisted in reducing neonatal mortality by 50% over the period.
However, the release said that there continues to be gaps in neonatal care in regional hospitals and the hinterland. It stated that President Irfaan Ali and Minister of Health, Dr Frank Anthony met with Dr. Narendra Singh, GHTK President and expressed full support to the principle that “every baby born in Guyana should have equal access to the highest level of neonatal care if required”
