OFFICIALS of the Fort Wellington Cottage Hospital are calling on the relatives of a man in his late fifties to visit the hospital and take him home.
The man who says his name is `Deoroo’, has a large abscess on his head and was taken to the Hospital for treatment two weeks ago.
His treatment has been successful and he is ready to be discharged but no one has come forward to take him home and he remains in the hospital.
Officials at the hospital say that his relatives should contact them urgently since the hospital does not cater for accommodation.
The man is not completely lucid but has occasionally disclosed that he hails from Ruimzeight on the West Coast of Demerara, and has children living there.
He told officials that his wife is deceased and that he had travelled to Suriname to work recently but had taken ill.
He said he was brought back to Guyana by a Guyanese who was moved by the poor circumstances in which she had seen him living in Suriname.
Hospital officials are calling on relatives to come forward since the man is depressed and has not been eating.
