Officials announce that a new computed tomography (CT) scanner is being installed at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC). The upgrade replaces an older CT machine currently in use at the hospital, with the goal of expanding diagnostic capacity for patients who require imaging for clinical assessment. According to hospital-related reporting, the new scanner is expected to provide faster scans and more accurate imaging, which can support clinicians in making decisions and improve care delivery.
The Minister of Health, Dr. Frank Anthony, publicly states that the installation is underway. Kaieteur News reports that he made the announcement on his Facebook page, describing the CT scanner as “brand-new” and noting that it will replace the existing equipment at GPHC. Guyana Chronicle similarly frames the development as a significant upgrade in the hospital’s diagnostic services and emphasizes the benefits of improved scan speed and imaging accuracy.
Both sources present the installation as a planned improvement to GPHC’s diagnostic infrastructure, without detailing the installation timeline or commissioning dates.
