–boost healthcare delivery in Region Two
RESIDENTS of Region Two (Pomeroon-Supenaam) are eagerly awaiting the commissioning of the state-of-the-art Lima Regional Hospital, which is now in its final stages of construction.
The facility, a landmark development for the region’s healthcare sector, promises to provide modern and comprehensive medical services to thousands of citizens.
Health Minister, Dr. Frank Anthony, on Friday, visited the construction site to inspect the progress and expressed satisfaction with the quality of work.
He noted that the hospital’s completion marks a major step forward in delivering quality healthcare closer to home for residents along the Essequibo Coast and its surrounding communities.

Equipped with advanced medical technology, the new facility will feature in-patient and out-patient departments, diagnostic services, an operating theatre, emergency care, and specialised clinics.
This development aims to reduce the need for patients to travel to Georgetown for critical services, significantly improving response times and convenience for families in the region.
“The Lima Regional Hospital will transform healthcare delivery in Region Two,” Dr. Anthony said, adding: “Our goal is to ensure that every Guyanese has access to reliable, high-quality medical services without the burden of long-distance travel. This facility is a testament to the government’s commitment to improving the lives of our people.”
The hospital is expected to be commissioned in the coming weeks and will serve as a regional hub for healthcare, supplementing existing health centres and providing vital support to the hinterland and riverine communities.
For residents of Region Two, the near completion of the Lima Regional Hospital is more than a construction milestone—it is a promise of better health, faster care, and a brighter future.
“We are happy for such facility and it will produce positive change in our region, our government is doing well and we are happy for this intervention by President Irfaan Ali administration,” Melvin Henry said.
Regional Health Officer, Dr. Ranjeev Singh, said that the hospital will be a significant boost to the region in delivering advance treatment.
