The Ministry of Health announces that the first Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machine in Guyana’s public health-care system is being installed at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC). Minister of Health Dr. Frank Anthony states that work on the MRI installation is now underway at the hospital, marking the first time such equipment will be available within the public health system. The reports describe the initiative as expanding diagnostic capacity for the public. Guyana Chronicle similarly reports that installation of the MRI machine at GPHC has commenced, presenting it as a step toward wider access to diagnostic services across the country.
Both outlets frame the announcement as a major infrastructure development for public medical imaging, with installation currently in progress rather than completed. No specific timetable for commissioning or operational dates is provided in the excerpts.
