The Linden Hospital Complex proudly acknowledges the generous donation from the 21st Chinese Medical Brigade, which will further strengthen the delivery of quality healthcare services to the people of Region 10.

This kind gesture is a reflection of the enduring and meaningful relationship shared between the Government of Guyana and the People’s Republic of China, one that has been built over decades through cooperation, development support, and mutual respect. The presence and work of the Chinese Medical Brigade in Guyana continue to play a vital role in enhancing medical capacity, knowledge transfer, and patient care within our health system.

Regional Health Officer/Chief Executive Officer (ag.) of the Linden Hospital Complex, Dr. Gregory Harris, expressed sincere gratitude for the donation, noting that the Brigade’s impact goes far beyond material contributions. He highlighted their unwavering commitment, professional expertise, and the invaluable services they provide daily to the residents of Region 10.

Among the items donated were an electric knife, transcutaneous jaundice meter, laparoscopic electrocoagulation hook, uterine curets, tracheal tubes, respirator masks for anesthesia, laryngeal masks, thoracic drainage tubes, hernia mesh, electric aspirator, and other essential surgical and clinical supplies.
The total value of the donation is estimated at $8 million Guyana dollars.

These supplies will significantly enhance the hospital’s capacity to deliver timely, quality care and improve patient outcomes across the region.

The Linden Hospital Complex remains deeply appreciative of this partnership. It looks forward to its continued growth as we work together to improve health outcomes and advance healthcare delivery for our communities.

Knowing where to seek care makes a real difference. 🏥
Using the right service, whether the Emergency Department for urgent, life-threatening situations or the Outpatient Department for routine care, helps ensure timely and effective treatment for everyone.

Proper utilization reduces wait times, allows doctors to focus on critical cases, and helps patients get the care they need, when they need it.
Right care. Right place. Right time. 💙

Over the past week, innovation took flight as the Ministry of Health rolled out testing of drone delivery systems in Wiruni, Ituni, and Malali, exploring new ways to bridge the gap between innovation and real-world impact.

These test flights are designed to assess how drone technology can support healthcare delivery, particularly in remote and hard-to-reach areas, by enabling faster and more reliable transportation of medical supplies.

The Regional Health Officer (RHO), Dr. Gregory Harris, welcomed the initiative, noting that it presents a practical and efficient method for ensuring essential medical supplies reach communities in a timely manner, especially where traditional access can be challenging.

This initiative will benefit the residents of Region 10, with particular focus on outlying communities, strengthening healthcare access and responsiveness across the region. It also represents the Government of Guyana’s commitment to equitable healthcare access, innovation with purpose, and improved health outcomes for hinterland communities.

Innovation in action. Impact where it matters most.

January is Thyroid Awareness Month, a time to shine the spotlight on the small but mighty thyroid gland and the big role it plays in our overall health.

Your thyroid helps regulate:
🦋 Metabolism
🦋 Energy levels
🦋 Heart rate
🦋 Body temperature
🦋 Mood and weight

Thyroid disorders can affect anyone; men, women, and even children, and often go unnoticed because symptoms may seem minor or are mistaken for everyday stress.

⚠️ Common signs to look out for:
• Unexplained weight changes
• Fatigue or weakness
• Hair thinning or hair loss
• Sensitivity to heat or cold
• Changes in heart rate

Early detection makes a difference! If you’re experiencing symptoms or have a family history of thyroid conditions, speak with a healthcare professional.

📍 At Linden Hospital Complex, we encourage our community to stay informed, get checked, and take charge of their health.

💙 Awareness today leads to healthier tomorrows.
