Georgetown: Neonatal death rates have dropped 50 per cent at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC), according to Medical officials at the institution.
The Ministry of Health data for the year 2010 revealed the occurrence of 14,527 births in Guyana, of which 13,265 babies were deliveries in hospitals. Half of these babies were deliveries in hospitals in Georgetown alone and the remainder occurred primarily at New Amsterdam [2,084], Suddie [889], West Demerara [1,047] and Linden hospitals [580]. This data identified the critical need for expanding the neonatal services regionally, according to Dr Singh.
