The new Maternity Unit at the New Amsterdam Hospital in Berbice is expected to be finished within two months, according to Minister of Health Dr Frank Anthony.
During his daily COVID-19 update on Tuesday, Anthony said many modifications had to be done in order to ensure the correct design of the building.
The minister said that the new unit will primarily benefit mothers who are awaiting delivery. It will consist of delivery rooms, two theatres, a neo-natal unit for premature babies, a post-natal ward and nurseries, among many other essential rooms.
