Individuals always share a special bond with their hometown or village; and it is through this bond that they usually try their best to give back to their community and residents.
Mr. Maurice Bovell is one such person, a resident of Good Hope, Essequibo, Region Two; who on Friday officially adopted the community’s Health Centre.
Minister of Public Health, Dr. George Norton, officially handed over the facility to the Good Samaritan in a simple ceremony held at the centre.
Mr. Bovell and his family will now be responsible for the maintenance of the facility and compound including the cleaning, repairs, and all other general upgrades.
Mr. Bovell related that he “grew up in the village,” and on behalf of himself and family along with the Jenny Bee Boat Service, he felt it was the right thing to do.
“I feel it is right and I feel adopting the health centre is my way of giving back to the community,” he said.
Before fully adopting the Good Hope, Supenaam Health centre, the Bovell family was assisting with its maintenance for a number of years.
The centre which primarily caters for maternal and child health has over 300 children between the ages of 0-5 years currently enrolled in the clinic, in addition to 13 pregnant women in the prenatal clinic.
Minister Norton used the opportunity to advise the Medex and Community Health Worker stationed at the facility, on preventive measures for several vector borne diseases currently surfacing around the Caribbean and to a lesser extent Guyana.
These include the use of insect repellent and mosquito treated bed nets to avoid the Zika and H1N1diseases.
