Proud to see our work in Guyana highlighted by the U.S. Embassy. 🇺🇸🇬🇾

This collaboration reflects what’s possible when technology, trust, and long-term partnership come together to strengthen healthcare delivery in challenging environments.

Thank you to the U.S. Embassy Georgetown and the Ministry of Health for recognizing the impact of this work—and to the community health workers who make it real every day.

Through bold leadership, smart partnerships, and cutting-edge technology, Guyana is redefining what’s possible for rural healthcare.

How did Minister of Health Dr. Frank Anthony build the world’s most advanced rural telemedicine network in just two years?

This 13-minute documentary by award-winning filmmaker Arlen Harris tells the full story.

Community health workers in remote hinterland villages now connect with doctors hundreds of miles away — using real-time diagnostics, solar power, and connectivity, all enabled by 19Labs’ GALE platform.

This is public-private partnership at its best: leadership, innovation, and lifesaving impact, from prenatal care to chronic disease management.

Now three years into our partnership with Guyana’s Ministry of Health, the results are clear: telemedicine that reaches the unreachable and care delivered where people live. This is what national-scale innovation looks like in practice.

The documentary was recently honored with a Silver S.A.A.V.Y. Award at the 2025 Sound & Vision International Film & Technology Festival.

If you care about health equity, global development, or digital health innovation, this isn’t just a success story — it’s a blueprint for what’s possible when technology meets purpose.

Watch the full film. Then ask yourself: Could this model work in the communities you serve?

In October 2025, the Monkey Mountain Health Post in rural Guyana received its first ultrasound probe. Paired with the GALE telemedicine platform, the local healthcare team gained real-time access to specialist guidance.

During a routine antenatal visit, a 21-year-old patient at 15 weeks’ gestation was evaluated with support from an obstetrics and gynecology specialist via a telemedicine consultation. The examination revealed Placenta Previa, a potentially life-threatening condition.

Thanks to early detection and timely specialist input, the patient received crucial guidance and a care plan without traveling hundreds of miles to a distant hospital.

This case highlights how telemedicine + local diagnostics:
• Strengthen maternal health services in remote areas
• Reduce travel and associated costs for patients
• Enable early intervention and safer pregnancies
• Transform and touch lives by expanding access to critical care

We’re proud to see GALE's advanced telemedicine directly improving maternal and child health in communities like Monkey Mountain.

💗 Breast Cancer Awareness Month: Cecilia’s Story

In rural Oaxaca, Mexico, Cecilia began experiencing sudden chest pain, but specialist care was hours away.

Thanks to her community’s GALE eClinic, she was quickly connected with remote doctors and diagnostic specialists. Her tests quickly confirmed breast cancer, and treatment began just 15 days after her first telemedicine visit.

Today, Cecilia is a survivor — and her story shows how GALE brings life-saving connections to remote communities, helping women detect illness earlier, avoid delayed checkups, and access the care they deserve. 💪

🎗️ This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we honor stories like Cecilia’s — reminders that access and awareness save lives.
