MEDICAL SHOW
This medical show is the first of its kind to be broadcast on television in Guyana and it is produced and hosted by Dr. Surendra Persaud.
Dr. Persaud will every week introduce a new colleague of his who is a specialist in his field of medicine. The first hour of the show will deal with prevalent health problems and concerns in an easy-to-listen format.
The second half-hour of the show will be a live call-in programme, whereby members of the public will get the chance to ask questions via telephone, email, text messages and Facebook.
The first programme yesterday featured ‘Fever in Children’ which was dealt with by Dr. Rohan Jabour.
Other topics that are scheduled to be covered include “Vaccinations for Children, Kidney Stones, Lower Back Pain, Hypertension, Diabetes, Fibroids, Infertility, Pregnancy Planning, Cancer Screening, Cardiac Screening, Asthma in Children and Benign Prostate Cancer.”
Work on the production of this programme began in the past two months and a quality and authoritative show is assured as doctors working in Guyana deal with issues that affect people’s lives here.
The main objective of the programme is to inform a countrywide audience about common medical issues and conditions about which they have questions and concerns.
