THE Central Islamic Organisation of Guyana (CIOG), last Sunday, hosted a small medical outreach at the 18 Miles, Rockstone residence of the Sugrim family. Residents of the Region Ten community were able to access general medical checkups, first aid training, a blood donation drive and a wide range of medical assistance.
Along with the medical services, the residents also received a number of packages that catered for their daily needs, along with clothing and footwear. Over 50 persons were able to benefit from the outreach. According to the CIOG, the successful venture was a collaborative effort involving the Sugrim family, the Guyana Cancer Foundation, the U.S. Embassy Humanitarian Assistance Programme (HAP), the Rosewood Foundation and the National Blood Transfusion Services. “Our esteem thanks to the doctors, nurses, and team of all the medical personnel who gave their time and services voluntarily for this humanitarian cause…The entire team put their best efforts forward, were very hardworking in assisting the needs of the public and CIOG thanks all for their efforts and sacrifice they made,”, the CIOG said.
