The Rotary Club of Garden City (Georgetown) donates 25 maternity hampers to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) as part of its observance of Maternal and Child Health Month. According to reports, the handover involves close coordination with staff at the maternity ward, who help identify mothers most likely to benefit from the supplies. The hampers are intended to support both mothers and newborns with essential items.
The donations are distributed to 25 mothers in total, including 11 Indigenous mothers and 14 other mothers selected as being among those most in need. Sources add that the beneficiaries come from communities across Guyana, not only Georgetown. The hampers are transferred to GPHC for distribution through its maternity services.
Overall, both outlets describe the donation as a targeted health-support initiative carried out in collaboration with healthcare professionals at GPHC, aimed at improving maternity care outcomes during Maternal and Child Health Month.
