FOOD For The Poor-Guyana has donated one container filled with medical equipment and supplies to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC), with the aim of fostering the provision of improved health services.

Chief Executive Officer of the FFTP, Kent Vincent, noted that he has been in contact with Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the GPHC, Brigadier (ret’d) George Lewis, over the past few months, concerning the donation of the supplies.

Vincent highlighted: “We want to assure the CEO that we are committed to assisting as much as we can to the alleviation of those who are suffering here in Guyana.”

This contribution from the FFTP was not one done in isolation. In fact, Vincent related that the organisation has been bringing supplies into the country and donating these supplies to health centres throughout the country.

Receiving the donation at the GPHC on Friday, Lewis highlighted that the GPHC values its collaboration with the FFTP, and acknowledged that over the past few years the hospital would have received assistance.

“The supplies provided here will be used for the improvement of healthcare at this institution,” Lewis said. He noted too, that if there are items that can be shared with other medical institutions to improve the delivery of health services, the GPHC will not hesitate to share.
