The East Bank Demerara Regional Hospital at Diamond has one of the best eye surgeons in the country.
This is the view of the hospital’s Chief Executive Officer Kevin Mana who declared that the facility offers a wide range of services comparable to those which are offered at the country’s main health care establishment – the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation.
However, many residents of Diamond Housing Scheme and the adjoining communities are unaware of the wide range of medical services offered there.
As a result, many of them travel to Georgetown for services such as ultrasound, General outpatients, Gynaecology, Internal medicine, Orthopaedic, Ophthalmology, Dental services, Emergency delivery, X-rays and Acupuncture.
But according to Mana, all of these services are available to them just a few minutes away from their homes.
Residents who frequently visit the hospital said that they were unaware of most of the services offered, claiming that they thought the facility only dealt with minor issues.
“I does go there to test my pressure and they does give me some tablets and that is all. Is now I know they does do all these things,” a woman who identified herself as Salma Singh said.
A pregnant woman, Alisa English from Diamond New Scheme said she was unaware that there was a Gynaecologist at the hospital.
During an interview with this newspaper, Mana said one of the services that he is proud of is the Ophthalmology Department.
Currently, persons are being examined by the hospital’s eye surgeon and if surgery is required they are being transferred to Berbice for treatment.
He also revealed that the hospital performs emergency deliveries. There is also an Orthopaedic Department and acupuncture treatment is conducted at the facility.
