At a simple presentation ceremony at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC), PAHO/WHO’s representative, Dr Janice Woolford, a specialist in children, adolescents, and women’s health, said that PAHO is pleased to partner with the GPHC and the Maternity Ward, especially with the improvement of the health information system in terms of perinatal data system.
She was accompanied by Dr Padmini Singh who is the main collaborator to ensure the networking of good, quality data is captured.
Receiving on behalf of GPHC were the hospital’s CEO (ag) Robbie Rambarran, and Head of Dept (OB-GYN) Dr Lucio Pedro.
Rambarran in his response remarked that it’s a good thing when GPHC receives gifts, supplies, and equipment from donors through their generosity and kind service to society and humanity.
He explained also that this package will contribute towards improving the efficiency of service, capturing, networking, and utilising effective data and to help further GPHC’s care at the hospital, in particular in the areas of oncology, cardiology, and nephrology.
Rambarran expressed his happiness, thanks, and appreciation to PAHO, who has been a long partner of GPHC, for their generous and meaningful donation. (G2)
