The National Ophthalmology Hospital at Port Mourant says it has cleared its surgical backlogs and is now planning to offer eye surgeries in Guyana’s hinterland regions. Ophthalmologist and doctor-in-charge Dr. Saif Alli made the announcement in comments to the Department of Public Information (DPI).
Both reports describe the move as a continuation of progress at the hospital, including its current capacity to perform surgeries after eliminating delays. They also indicate that the next step is outreach beyond Port Mourant to better serve communities in the hinterland. The coverage is largely focused on the announcement itself and the hospital’s readiness to expand, with no additional details in the provided excerpts on the specific regions to be served, timing, or types of surgeries included.
