THE Lima Regional Hospital continues to set a new standard in healthcare delivery within Region Two with its Orthopaedic Department now successfully performing advanced, first-time surgeries.

This major milestone means that patients no longer have to endure the burden of traveling to Georgetown for specialised care, as quality treatment is now available closer to home.

With the introduction of C-arm guided surgeries and intramedullary nailing procedures, the hospital is embracing modern medical technology to deliver safer, more precise, and highly effective treatments. These advancements not only improve surgical outcomes but also promote faster recovery and a better overall patient experience.

Behind this progress is a dedicated and highly skilled team, led by Orthopaedic Surgeons, Dr. S. Sookdeo and Dr. L. Gomes, alongside General Medical Officer, Dr. I. Brido. Their tireless commitment ensures that patients receive continuous, high-quality care across the wards, clinics, and operating theatre.

The extension of orthopaedic clinics to the Suddie Public Hospital further highlights the hospital’s commitment to accessibility, ensuring that even residents in remote communities can benefit from these enhanced services.

Lima Regional Hospital is steadily evolving into a centre of excellence, bringing advanced healthcare services to the people of Region Two. With plans underway to further expand orthopedic care through specialised outreaches, the future of healthcare in the region is not only promising, it is transformative.
