The Mahaicony Cottage Hospital led by Obstetricians Dr Rondell Stuart and Dr Rohini Rupan successfully performed its first lower caesarean section on December 18, 2023.
The collaborative effort of the surgical team, which also included an anaesthetic technician, scrub nurses, and recovery nurses, resulted in the safe delivery of a healthy baby girl weighing 3.2kg to Akita Mahaica.
Mahaica is currently on the path to a smooth recovery and expressed her gratitude for the outstanding care and treatment she received both pre- and post-surgery at Mahaicony Cottage Hospital.

This accomplishment not only stands as a medical triumph but also serves as a vivid representation of the Government of Guyana’s steadfast dedication to realising its visionary health goals in line with its commitment to providing accessible and affordable healthcare services to every Guyanese citizen.
Mahaicony Cottage Hospital’s ability to perform this significantly lower caesarean section is indicative of the nation’s collective pursuit of excellence in healthcare.
As the hospital gears up for additional surgeries shortly, it reinforced its enduring commitment to enhancing the well-being of the community and contributing to the realisation of Guyana’s aspirations for world-class healthcare.
This successful lower caesarean section stands as a testament to the hospital’s mission and represents a significant stride toward guaranteeing the health and well-being of the community it serves.
Heartfelt congratulations are being extended to the entire surgical team, hospital staff, and the Government for this remarkable achievement.
