Sod turned for $32b paediatric, maternal hospital on East Coast

The land earmarked for the construction of the hospital

Hailed as the single largest investment in Guyana’s health sector, President Irfaan Ali yesterday turned the sod for Guyana’s first specialised Paediatric and Maternal Hospital and urged Guyanese health workers to remain here as no infrastructure is worthwhile without human resources.

With the construction of such a hospital, Ali said Guyana is on track to achieve its goal as a nation with world class health facilities with the highest standards.
