For the first time ever, life-changing surgeries are being performed at the newly commissioned Annai District Hospital in Region Nine (Upper Takutu-Upper Essequibo). Formerly known as the Annai Health Centre, this upgraded facility was officially commissioned today by the Honourable Dr. Frank Anthony, Minister of Health. A dedicated team of specialist doctors from Georgetown will be on site over the next two days, conducting a range of procedures including hernia repairs, cholecystectomies, hysterectomies, appendectomies, bilateral tubal ligations, lump and bump removals, and caesarean sections. The surgical theatre was constructed and equipped at a total cost of $76 million. This milestone represents a major advancement in expanding access to specialised healthcare services within our hinterland communities.
