$41M Infectious Disease Unit opened at New Amsterdam

The new $41M Infectious Disease Unit

Minister of Health Dr Frank Anthony on Saturday commissioned a new 15-bed Infectious Disease Unit in the compound of the New Amsterdam Regional Hospital, in Region Six.

The $41 million facility is to be used to house patients in the region after years of health authorities being forced to transfer such persons to the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH). 

Speaking at the commissioning, Anthony said the unit represents the country’s progress in managing COVID-19.
