Six babies have been delivered at the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPHC) on December 25, and as is customary, they were visited by First Lady Arya Ali, who gave their mothers hampers as she interacted with hospital staffers on duty during her visit.

At the time of her visit, only five babies were born, but the First Lady later penned, “A new baby is like the beginning of all things – wonder, hope, a dream of possibilities. As of 10:00h this morning (Christmas Day), five bouncing babies were delivered at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC). As is customary, I spent my morning delivering care packages to the mothers of these babies and extending holiday wishes on behalf of the First Family.”
According to the First Lady, this act is in keeping with continuous efforts over the holidays to distribute hampers and engage with persons from all walks of life. She has been quoted as saying, “This is the season of caring and sharing, so we cannot forget our babies. We have been giving out a lot of hampers, and we did a lot of toy distributions throughout the course of the season.”

Throughout the country, other deliveries were recorded at other hospitals. Dr Balwant Singh’s Hospital – one of the private institutions in Guyana – also recorded six deliveries on Christmas Day.
