East Coast Demerara : Minister of Health Dr. Beri Ramsarran made a visit to the Dr. Doobay Renal Centre at Lusignan, E.C.Dem. to take a firsthand look at the operations there.
Minister Ramsaran explained that many of the acute patients at the GPHC, and other hospitals, when stabilized are referred to the clinic for renal treatment.
The opening of the Doobay Renal Centre Inc., in Lusignan, last September offers people who have experienced renal failure a new lease on life particularly since the institution which is a registered not for Profit Company provides dialysis at a reduced cost. Apart from the cost factor, patients praise the institution and their staffs for making them feel at home while receiving their treatment which takes up to four hours. Dialysis treatment is done thrice weekly. Most of the patients at the institution are Guyanese who were referred from hospitals including GPHC and Diamond.
The centre is also open to persons visiting Guyana and need treatment.
