GPHC seeks relatives of Albouystown man as hospital continues outreach to reconnect, identify patients

Tony Ramotar

The Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) is appealing to the public for assistance in locating the relatives of 42-year-old Tony Ramotar, who is currently a patient at the institution. According to the hospital, Ramotar was last known to be living in Albouystown, Georgetown, but all efforts to contact his family members have so far proven unsuccessful. The GPHC said it is eager to reunite Ramotar with his relatives and is asking anyone with information about his next of kin to contact the Social Work Department at telephone number 506-6496.
In recent months, the GPHC has been using its social media platforms to appeal to the public for help in identifying or reconnecting patients with their families. The initiative has become more visible during the course of this year as the hospital continues to care for several individuals who were either brought in by strangers following accidents or left at the facility with little to no information about their identity or family contacts. Just a few weeks ago, the hospital made a similar appeal for relatives of Christopher Murray, a 57-year-old man who was reportedly residing in the Tiger Bay area before his admission. Murray was medically discharged, but according to the hospital, he remained at the hospital because no relatives or guardians had come forward to collect him. That appeal was posted around October 23 on the hospital’s official Facebook page.
Additionally, earlier this year, the hospital sought to identify another male patient who had been brought in by someone following an alleged accident, but for whom no family information was available. The GPHC’s social work team has been working to locate relatives and provide continued support for such patients, ensuring that no one under their care is left without the opportunity to be reunited with family or guardians. The hospital has expressed appreciation to members of the public who continue to respond to these calls, noting that community cooperation plays a vital role in helping vulnerable patients reconnect with their loved ones.
