President Bharrat Jagdeo of Guyana left for India Sunday to try to secure a soft loan to set up a specialty hospital in Georgetown that would be staffed by locals and Indian nationals.
The Guyana government has already voted US$737,000 to begin preparatory work to design the 150-bed surgical specialty hospital, which will conduct specialist surgical procedures, including invasive cardiology and radiation oncology.
Jagdeo told reporters the low cost hospital benefit Guyanese, other Caribbean nationals as well as people from northern Brazil and even North America.
He noted that Americans travel as far as India for surgery, which costs only US$5,000, instead of paying US$30,000 for similar procedures in the United States.
The Guyana hospital would offer a more cost effective service nearer home with the same degree of professionalism.
