Patients of the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH) who require the service of the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machine continue to face financial pressure and Minister of Health, Dr Frank Anthony says that the recommendation from an ongoing Strategic Plan at the facility will determine whether one will be sourced.
There has never been a MRI machine at the GPH, the country’s premier state medical facility.
Patients who require the service are usually referred to a private hospital at their expense. The estimated cost for a MRI scan is $60,000.
