The four workers honoured were Dr Rafeek Rahaman. Medex Sheliza Shultz, Nurse Venisa Persaud and driver Nigel Trotz.
Foster stated that in 2019, he was a patient at the hospital and over the course of his eight-day stay, and he was very impressed by the high level of professionalism among the staff and committed the RHTYSC to assisting as much as possible and to also host an annual award to honour the best of the best.
Over the last three years, a total of 23 staff members have been honoured for outstanding performance and Foster, who is also the president of Berbice Cricket Board (BCB), pledged that the club would continue to host the awards in the future.

He urged the awardees to uphold their high standards and reminded them that the health of the nation is the wealth of the nation. The long-standing club official stated that the professionalism of the Port Mourant Hospital was unmatched across the country, along with its general appearance.
Foster made special mention of Dr Rahaman and Nurse Persaud, who were among the workers who had looked after him during his stay three years ago.
He noted that the nation was blessed to have such outstanding medical workers during the ongoing pandemic. Each of the awardees received a plaque, Medal of Excellence, framed certificate along with three special gifts. The 11 cricket teams also handed over a bicycle and a trolley to the management of the hospital as part of their annual Basil Butcher Trust Fund project. The bicycle would be used by the porters at the institution to fulfil their duties while the trolley would be used to move around the EKG machine.

Naidu disclosed that over the last three years, the club and its cricket teams have made numerous donations to the hospital in an effort to assist management to fulfil its mandate to the general public. The club would also be providing some Mother’s Day hampers to the hospital for outstanding mothers working there. Medical Doctor in Charge, Dr Sukhdeo, expressed gratitude to the club for its assistance over the years and congratulated the awardees on being selected.
