Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Linden Hospital Complex (LHC), Rudolph Small on Monday handed over the keys of a fully equipped off-road ambulance to Andrea Logan, steward of the Kwakwani Hospital.
Small thanked the Government of Guyana for its timely provision of the ambulance to be used specifically in the Upper Berbice district.
“I am very grateful to the Government for acceding to our request for a new ambulance that would benefit the people of Kwakwani and the people in the riverine communities in the Berbice River.”

Small posited that the community has strong and united political lobbyists and with their efforts and heightened demand for better healthcare provisions for the residents of Kwakwani and its outlying communities, it is guaranteed that Kwakwani Hospital will be amongst the best healthcare institutions in Guyana.
“Mr Archer and his colleagues who are part of the steering committee at the hospital have been very instrumental in lobbying for a new ambulance for the community,” Small stated.
Archer and colleagues began lobbying for a new ambulance approximately one year ago and he is grateful that the Government has listened to their plea, through the office of the CEO.
The community has been without a functional ambulance for about a year.
Meanwhile, Small related that requests for a second ambulance would be taken into consideration based on the need and the patient load required to be transported.
Small urged the drivers at the Kwakwani Hospital to take “good care” of the ambulance so that the institution can continue to provide exceptional healthcare services.
