Eteringbang in Region Seven is in urgent need of medical supplies and assistance after severe flooding made the community inaccessible.
“At this time, our community needs medical assistance [to help with] these patients. We only had two bottles of fever medicine. [There are] no antibiotics or medication to treat newborn babies,” a resident told Regional Chair-man, Kenneth Williams, in a WhatsApp message.
Williams told Stabroek News that a doctor was unable to travel to the area due to the airstrip being under water. This has made the mining community inaccessible.
