The Georgetown Public Hospital is seeing an influx of patients from across the Caribbean region, seeking medical treatment at the institution.
This is according to the hospital’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Robbie Rambarran, who credited the influx to improved healthcare services, and specialised treatments.
“We are committed to [doing] the best we can for the people of this country and from any country who come here,” Rambarran stated during a recent event, where the institution highlighted the significant progress made in breast reconstruction.
According to Rambarran, the hospital would have seen major investments over the last four years, equating to better service for the populace.
He added that the institution is now conducting minimally invasive surgery, which would see patients going home the next day as compared to being in the hospital for four to five days with open surgery.
“Dr. Hemraj Ramcharan messaged me, and he said there are currently five surgical lists. There were five rooms operating simultaneously, and they all were doing laparoscopic surgery.”
Laparoscopic surgery, or minimally invasive surgery (MIS), is a surgical technique that uses small incisions instead of large cuts to perform procedures inside the body.
“It is remarkable to be having five operating rooms doing minimal laparoscopic surgery simultaneously,” Robbie stated.
