Over 300 Guyanese have accessed free medical attention within proximity of their respective work places, as the Ministry of Health in collaboration with the corporate community provided medical care including eye care and dental services.
A similar activity is scheduled for Masjid al Nur in Parfait Harmonie, Region three on April 16.
This medical attention which began from the beginning of the year, aims to take the much needed services to various communities to meet the needs of the residents, particularly the elderly.
These activities have now expanded to include religious organizations. One was hosted at the Masjid An-Najm and Social Center in Albouystown, Georgetown where both Muslims and non-Muslims received general and eye care services.
According to Health officials, many other religious organisations are involved in facilitating such outreaches; in this regard the call now is for more organisations to tap into this effort.
Minister of Health, Dr. Bheri Ramsaran noted that apart from providing medical services, lectures are also done which provide pertinent information about a range of health issues.
He further said that shortly, one of the Ministry’s oral health caravans will be stationed in the community to provide dental health, in partnership with the Rotary Club.
Director, Masjid An-Najm and Social Center, Naeem Muhammad said that the outreach falls into the objectives of the organisation which is to bring social services to the people of the community. He indicated his satisfaction to partner with the Ministry of Health and by extension the Government of Guyana.
It is hoped that similar outreaches will be carried out more often. He explained that an assessment will be done based on the medical needs of the community so as to determine what other services can be included in the outreaches.
Please share this to every Guyanese including your house cats.
