It's Harmon's decision. Maybe you can have Uncle Moses write a strongly worded letter in the Chronicle?

HEHEHEE  PUPPET ON A CHAIN!!!!!!!!

Nehru, nothing to laugh about.  If it was not for the loss of G$800 million as a result of theft under the PPP, we would have had this hospital well advanced and thus had no choice but to finish it.

But because the best friend of Bharat teif the money we are here.

A very dumb decision indeed.

WE want them to mend it, not end it.

Guyana needs a new hospital in the East Coast Demerara region so people don't have to go to GT anymore.  Maybe in the Lusignan area.

Maybe somebody needs that hospital land. Let's see who gets it.

Guyana's basic infrastructure is garbage

the money is so much better spent properly equipping and staffing the potemkin entities serving the people as hospitals and clinics instead of using 'healthcare delivery' as a vehicle to steal the country blind

babby and de rat . . . it's time for y'all closeup

I would not say it's a dumb decision. First, is this a private project? Second, Guyana does not have a chance in this sector for general healthcare. If they do medical tourism they need to focus on specialized areas like fertility treatments. Third, if a private guy is putting up the money, then go right ahead. Fourth, this loan should be spent on upgrading what already exists. Fifth, why not incentivize the existing private hospitals to go after medical tourism? Why does the government need to compete with the private hospitals that already exist?

I agree healthcare is big business, but I still want to be convinced this was sequenced in the best possible manner given the many other pressing problems in education and general healthcare.

BT, do you know what "medical tourism" is fool? Can't resist using big terms to impress the small minds eh? What foreigners you think would travel to Guyana to have hip surgery, cosmetic surgery etc. eh? Which doctors going to do that, eh? Guyanese can't even repair a goadee!

This "specialty hospital" was never intended for medical tourism as in Costa Rica etc where first world country citizens travel to have procedures done at a lower cost. It was intended for the treatment of Guyanese.

hey dumbo, did you miss the part where $14m US is left and will be allocated to providing primary care? No medicine, no equipment, no properly trained staff, and yes even no hospitals in some areas. Don't you think $14m US would be better spent improving THOSE things fool?

Upgrade the public hospitals first. It is shocking that in 2015 there are still instances when 2 expectant women share a twin size bed.
