Dr. Devendra Radhay, a promising young Guyanese urologist, has returned home after completing his rigorous post-graduate training at the prestigious Joaquin Albarran Hospital of the University of Havana in Cuba.

His return marks a significant milestone in his journey towards becoming a skilled practitioner in his field.

Originally from Crabwood Creek, Corentyne, Region Six, Dr. Radhay embarked on his medical career in 2009 after being awarded a Government Scholarship to pursue his MD at the renowned Salvador Allende Hospital affiliated with the University of Havana.

Upon completing his undergraduate studies, he returned to Guyana, where he dedicated his expertise to serving various public hospitals, including Skeldon Public Hospital, New Amsterdam Public Hospital, and Port Mourant Public Hospital.

In 2019, Dr. Radhay was granted another Government Scholarship, this time to undertake specialised post-graduate studies in Urology in Cuba. After years of rigorous training and dedication, he successfully completed his programme earlier this year, emerging as a fully trained urologist, equipped with the latest knowledge and skills in his field.

During his time in Cuba, Dr. Radhay also had the opportunity to participate in the Fourth Congress of Urologists of Central America and the Caribbean, held in Panama from August 2-5, 2023.
At the congress, he presented a paper titled “Current Scientific Findings in the Field of Urology,” showcasing his commitment to staying abreast of the latest advancements and research in urological medicine.

Dr. Radhay’s return to Guyana brings hope for improved urological care in the region, as he brings back not only his specialised training but also a wealth of experience gained from his time abroad.

His dedication to his profession and passion for advancing healthcare services in Guyana are commendable, and his contributions are expected to have a positive impact on the medical community and patients alike.
