The first of the surgeries is scheduled for today and the other tomorrow. Reports are that as at yesterday the two men were resting in the High Dependency Unit (HDU) of the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC).
Hospital officials report that the surgeries will be spearheaded by a five-member overseas medical team headed by Dr. Rahul Jindal.
The medical team also comprises transplant surgeon Dr. Edward Falta of the Walter Reed Army Medical Centre (WRAMC), Washington, DC; Dr. Arthur Womble attached to the Athens-Limestone Hospital, Athens, Alabama, Dr. Melanie Guerrero and Pulmonary Care Physician and Dr. Laura Owens.
They will be ably assisted by local doctors and nurses as well.
