In addition, the hospital will address a wide range of eye-related conditions, such as glaucoma, cataracts, and diabetic retinopathy.  

It is expected to open in the last quarter of this year.  

This project adds to the large-scale investments across different industries, which includes over 60% from local sources. It is also part of the country’s larger healthcare expansion plan.  

In addition, it is aligned with Guyana President Dr Irfaan Ali’s broader goal of setting up seven new hospitals in a bid to strengthen the country’s healthcare infrastructure.  

These seven hospitals are set to be located across various regions, with ongoing infrastructural works. 

The latest agreement came shortly after the Guyana Office for Investment signed an investment agreement with Sheriff Hospital to establish a private hospital in Leonora.
