Guyana’s healthcare landscape has received a significant boost with the official opening of the state-of-the-art Diamond Regional Hospital, a fully equipped facility set to provide comprehensive medical services to more than 40,000 residents along the East Bank corridor.

The new hospital was commissioned on Sunday evening by President Dr Mohamed Irfaan Ali, who was joined by Prime Minister Brigadier (Ret’d) Mark Phillips, Vice President Dr Bharrat Jagdeo, other Cabinet members, senior health officials, and residents.

Constructed to meet Chinese, British, and American medical standards, the facility will offer 24/7 emergency care, maternity and neonatal services, surgical procedures, and a wide range of outpatient clinics. It houses 75 inpatient beds, three operating theatres, and round-the-clock laboratory and diagnostic services, ensuring that both routine and urgent medical needs are addressed with efficiency.

The hospital is outfitted with advanced technology, including CT scanners, digital X-ray machines, and ultrasound systems, aimed at enhancing diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes.

In his feature address, President Ali emphasized that this facility represents more than just infrastructural development, it is a direct investment in human life, dignity, and the long-term well-being of the Guyanese people.

“This is an investment that will ensure our women, children, elderly and all alike have a level of treatment that is not based on income or status,” the President stated. “That is what this investment is doing: providing quality, efficient, equitable services. This is an investment in the people of our country.”

To complement the transformation in health infrastructure, the government is actively investing in human resource development, with plans to train over 6,000 nurses within the next five years. New nursing schools have already been established in Regions Two, Six, and Ten to support this goal.

In parallel, significant strides are being made in healthcare innovation, including the implementation of electronic health records, AI-assisted diagnostics, and the introduction of robotic surgery. Through partnerships with international organizations, Guyana’s hospitals are now connected to global imaging and laboratory services, available 24 hours a day.

President Ali reminded the gathering that the enhancement of healthcare services was a key promise in the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) 2020–2025 manifesto. Despite global challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the government launched an ambitious health agenda, upgrading over 400 health facilities to date, including 26 health centres and major public hospitals such as the Lethem Regional Hospital, which now attracts patients from as far as Brazil.

“We want to ensure that a government invests simultaneously in equivalent care so every Guyanese can have a minimum standard of care. Regardless of which region you’re from – that is what this government is about,” President Ali affirmed.
