THE Public Health Ministry handed over a refrigerator and 50 chairs to the Dorothy Bailey Health Centre on Tuesday.
During the simple handing-over ceremony, Minister within the Ministry of Public Health, Dr. Karen Cummings, said though small, the donation would be of great service to the health centre, which services a very large catchment area in Georgetown.
She noted that the Public Health Ministry continues to collaborate with the municipality of Georgetown to ensure that adequate public healthcare of a high standard is offered at health centres managed by the Georgetown Mayor and City Council.

“This partnership between the Ministry of Public Health and the Georgetown Mayor and City Council is one that is evolving to ensure that together we maintain and uphold best quality public health-care standards and practices in the daily delivery of service to the people served,” she said.
Minister Cummings said as the ministry continues to foster and strengthen its relationship with the Georgetown Mayor and City Council, it looks forward to more collaborative work, noting that together the lives of people will be improved and their access to services enhanced.

In response, Nurse Marilyn Gordon expressed gratitude on behalf of the Georgetown Mayor and City Council.
“I would like to thank the Ministry of Public Health for this donation today which will surely help us to better serve our clients. We look forward to engaging the Ministry of Public Health in other similar initiatives, which can help to further enhance the public health services offered here at the Dorothy Bailey Health Centre,” she said.
