Preparatory works have commenced at the sites where two new state-of-the-art hospitals will be built in Region Six, as the government moves to improve the delivery of healthcare.
One of the new hospitals will be located in Fort Canje next to the Canje Bridge and a short distance away from the current New Amsterdam Hospital, while the second will be located at Number 75 Village, Corentyne.
According to Regional Chairman David Armogan, a major three-storey hospital will be built at the Fort Canje location, in line with “first world standards.” At present, he said, the area is being cleared and prepared for the commencement of construction; “very shortly you will see major works starting there.
