Dr Mahadeo visited the communities of Kabakaburi, Upper Pomeroon, Wakapoa, Mora and Hackney in the lower pomeroon.

It was disclosed recently, that the Director-General conducted inspections on the work being conducted on various facilities along the Essequibo coast.

It was revealed that the Health Ministry has invested some $100M GUY to expand and upgrade primary health services within the region, thus ensuring that citizens in these riverine and secluded communities have adequate access to healthcare.

It was noted that this is only one aspect of delivering on commitments made to facilitate requisite healthcare services for persons living in riverine communities.

Additionally, with the institution of the government’s part-time job initiative, one of the most prevalent issues, as it relates to healthcare in the region, was alleviated as persons were employed to fill the gaps.
