THE government’s objective of ensuring high-quality healthcare for all Guyanese is steadily coming to fruition, with smooth progress being made on the Enmore Regional Hospital.
After completion, the Enmore Regional Hospital will transform into a tertiary care facility equipped with a diverse range of amenities. It will possess state-of-the-art imaging capabilities, a fully equipped laboratory, and a 24/7 accident and emergency department.

Moreover, the hospital will furnish comfortable patient rooms at both its inpatient and outpatient facilities. Furthermore, the hospital will house two state-of-the-art operating rooms, staffed by highly competent medical personnel, to ensure the utmost quality of care for patients.
Last year, the government signed contracts with China’s Sinopharm International for the construction of six new regional hospitals in various parts of the country.

According to the Chief Engineer of Sinopharm, Fu Qiang, the contracts cater for modern healthcare facilities in five of Guyana’s 10 regions. The aim of this initiative is to improve healthcare delivery in the South American country.
This was confirmed by Health Minister Dr. Frank Anthony, who said that the design process had commenced and the sites are currently being prepared for the construction phase.

The Irfaan Ali-led administration has presented a host of proposals for the health system and said this project is part of a larger $37.2 billion initiative that will modernise the regional healthcare system in Guyana.
The new facilities will be built at Anna Regina, Region Two; De Kinderen, Region Three; Diamond and Enmore, Region Four; Bath, Region Five, and Skeldon, Region Six. Each of the new regional hospitals will be 65,000 square feet.
Over the next few years, according to President Ali, the government wants to train and attract a significant number of healthcare professionals to provide not just health care, but the best, world-class medical services to the people of Guyana.
