THE Region Two (Pomeroon/Supenaam) Administration, in its drive to provide improved health services to residents across the Essequibo Coast, has given six Jialing JL 110-8 motorcycles to the Environmental Health Department and five bicycles to the Maternal Child Health Department of the Health Centres.Speaking at the recent handing over ceremony in the Regional Administration compound, the Chairman, Mr. Parmanand Persaud said it is another investment by Government to improve the delivery of health services to

residents.
He called for the motorbikes and bicycles to be used for making faster contact with the people and not to fly past them. He warned that officers must not misuse the motorcycles and bicycles .
Regional Vice-Chairman, Mr. Vishnu Samaroo said the motorcycles and bicycles will surely improve the delivery of health services to citizens and help health workers to execute their tasks faster.
Regional Executive Officer, Mr. Sunil Singh said the motorcycles and bicycles were purchased under the Region’s capital programme for 2013 and the Environmental Health Centres along the Coast are now fully enhanced with transportation, so workers can move more quickly to do their work in the field.
Regional Health Officer, Dr. Allison Brown thanked the Government and the Regional Administration for the motorcycles and bicycles and said both departments are mostly involved in field work and the motorcycles and bicycles will be of great help to officers.
