After a year of paediatric heart surgery, the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) has been able to boast of a zero per cent mortality rate.A heart lung machine donated to the GPHC by ICHFA total of 42 cases were conducted during the course of the year,Brendan Langley Jersey, an undertaking that was made possible with the support of the International Children’s Heart Foundation (ICHF),Cheap Authentic Jerseys, a United States-based charitable organisation.According to GPHC’s Head of Paediatric Surgery, Dr. Marisa Seepersaud, Guyana is one of two countries within the Region that has in place functioning centres that offer paediatric heart services.And according to her, reports suggest that Guyana,Cheap NFL jerseys China, despite only introducing its paediatric heart programme this year, has already surpassed the number of cases conducted by its counterpart for 2015 –? Jamaica is the other country in the Region that offers paediatric cardiac surgical services.“I am told by my friends at the other centre that so far for this year we have surpassed their numbers in open heart cases,” Dr. Seepersaud related.She has attributed this development to the fact that the centre in Jamaica does not have a fully functional unit. Dr. Seepersaud said that unlike the GPHC’s paediatric heart centre, “they depend on a general ICU (Intensive Care Unit) that other patients use. I think we have an opportunity here to stand out in the Region,Wholesale NFL Jerseys, to show how things should be.”With the support of ICHF, Guyana has been able to not only put in place its paediatric heart surgery centre, complete with its own ICU, but one that is well furnished with equipment and other supplies, including a multi-million-dollar heart lung machine.According to Chief Executive Officer and lead Paediatric Surgeon of the ICHF,Wholesale Authentic Jerseys, Dr Rodrigo Soto, there are already plans in the pipeline to make available to the GPHC, yet another heart lung machine.Dr. Seepersaud disclosed that because of the forthcoming support, the GPHC is able to offer the paediatric heart surgery at one-fifth or one-sixth of the high cost associated with such surgeries. “We are able to do all of this at a much lower cost than is usual to have cardiac services offered,” Dr. Seepersaud emphasised.She disclosed that based on forthcoming information from another children’s heart foundation, ailing Guyanese children in the past were taken to Toronto Sick Kids (The Hospital for Sick Children) in Ontario, Canada, at a cost of US$30,000 per child. GPHC is currently able to offer the same service at US$3,000 per child.“That’s a huge difference in the cost,” said Dr. Seepersaud as she assured that “We are not sacrificing on quality…even in first world top-of-the-line centres, the mortality rate from paediatric cardiac surgeries hover just above three per cent. In other centres in the rest of the world, it is anywhere between four and eight per cent.”The mortality rate for the ICHF – which offers its cardiac services support including surgeries and building of capacity at various health facilities around the world – is 1.5 per cent, which is way below first world centres. The fact that after three bouts of surgeries Guyana has not recorded any deaths, suggests that something is being done right, Minister of Public Health, Dr. George Norton asserted.According to Dr. Seepersaud, “I think that we are achieving great things, even though we are operating in a low cost setting.” This laudable gain, Dr. Seepersaud has attributed to not only support from ICHF, but from the GPHC’s counterparts at the LIBIN Cardiovascular Institute in Canada, together with the dedication of staffers at the public hospital, some of whom, she noted, have worked to the point of exhaustion during surgery days.

By Abena Rockcliffe Chairman of the Implementation Committee mandated to work along with the Mayor and City Council (M&CC), Keith Burrowes, yesterday disclosed that he is looking for the Media to become more “aggressive.” Also, he appealed for “useful” strategic contributions to the committee as it relates to brainstorming ways and means of returning Georgetown to being referred to as the “Garden City”.The move comes at a time when the City Council is strapped for cash and is faced with a series of irregularities, both within the Council and around the City.Burrowes, as he addressed the media yesterday at City Hall, said that the media has a critical role to play in the development of society and it has a responsibility to hold officials accountable whether mandated or ‘taken-up.’“Fortunately, we don’t have a too aggressive press, as compared to the USA,” asserted Burrowes. Nevertheless, he expressed the notion that,NFL Jerseys China, as it relates to futuristic and present initiatives, the officials should be answerable.“In the event that we don’t execute plans as promised, we should be bombarded until we answer.”Further,Wholesale Hockey Jerseys, the chairman said that he will soon schedule a meeting with the Guyana Press Association (GPA), aimed at developing an interactive relationship. Burrowes disclosed that he intends to solicit strategies from the media that will be helpful to the Implementation Committee and Council.In addition, he made known his intention to have a weekly column that will update the public on all that is new within the M&CC. He also encouraged the Town Clerk,NFL Jerseys Wholesale, Carol Sooba, and Public Relations Officer (PRO) Royston King, to soon develop a website to educate the public.Clean-up campaignAnd Burrowes yesterday introduced his team of “enforcement officers” that will be on the lookout for litterbugs. Even though the chairman had indicated that the aforementioned individuals would have begun operating approximately four weeks ago,Wholesale NFL Jerseys, he assured that they will “definitely” resume duty from Monday, after a day’s training.According to Burrowes, the training,NFL Jerseys 2018, which will be facilitated by him, will allow the 12 officers to be more than “just watchmen.”He said that the crash course will enable the team to negotiate with taxpayers to become advocates of a garbage-free city.Burrowes said that “the situation really got out of hand. Littering has become a culture in Guyana.” He insisted that business owners play a huge part in littering the City, as he believes that the majority of the “junkies” that dispose of Garbage in an inappropriate manner are being paid by proprietors to do so.With that being established, Burrowes asserted that “I am hoping and praying that by within a week we could identify five businesses, put those in the paper, then deal with them appropriately after.”For other citizens caught littering, the fine will be $10,000 or an alternative jail time.Surprisingly, even though some of these “enforcement officers” as dubbed by Burrowes, are indeed City Constables, none is equipped with radios, which would enable communication with the Chief Constable. Burrowes said that he will solicit funds to facilitate such a necessity in place.

Failure to upgrade the sewage system over the years has not only left the Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI) with a collapsing mess but also with the challenge of urgently meeting modern specifications in order to reverse the current state-of-affairs.This notion was highlighted recently by a source close to the water entity.According to the source, a trend that saw the neglect of the system, started even when the water entity was being controlled by the Georgetown municipality through the Guyana Sewerage and Water Company (GS&WC).Even at the 1929 commissioning of the central sewage system it was common knowledge that the pumps within the system had the capacity to function optimally for a maximum of 60 years. Even before it was handed over to the GWI in 2002 the system had already been exhausted, the source said.Just about 20 years have elapsed and none of the pumps has been changed thus they have aged and continue to deteriorate even today.GWI Public Relations Officer, Rawle Aaron, attributed the deterioration of the system primarily to the lack of sufficient funds to effect necessary changes. “It could not have been rehabilitated because funding always came in a piecemeal fashion and not in a lump sum,NFL Jerseys China,” Aaron said.And while constant maintenance works were carried out, he noted that there was no replacement of the pumps that ceased operating over the years.He said that the central sewage system consists of pumps which were specially designed for the system. And since no effort was made to upgrade the system he noted that the required parts to maintain the pumps had become unavailable as they were no longer being manufactured.The situation, he said, has been compounded by the abuse of the system by residents who infiltrate it with foreign objects and because of the increase in the city’s population.Aaron said that a mere eight of the 24 pumps recommended for the operation of the system are still working, severely compromising the capacity of the network which caters to far more households that it was initially intended for.It was highlighted in the recently released PAHO/WHO-produced 2008 Strategic Plan for the sanitation sector in Guyana that the central sewage system is in imminent danger of total collapse.The strategic plan points out that since its inception only one major rehabilitation of the sewage system occurred, during the period 1985 – 1988, adding that pumps began to fail a short while after that,Authentic Jerseys Cheap, leaving again eight operational. The eight, it was noted, require constant maintenance to remain functional.The document seeks to emphasise the problems and the major constraints experienced in maintaining the system and underscores that the situation could result in the outbreak of communicable diseases, inclusive of cholera.It also outlines preliminary specifications and estimates for the rehabilitation of the pumping stations as well as the yards and sewers in selected areas. It goes on to emphasise that “this scenario can only be substantially mitigated through immediate implementation of the works outlined.”The document also highlights that it was some 10 years ago that a master plan intended for the regularisation of squatter areas within the city was prepared by consultants with the intent of addressing the sewage system. However it was not approved by government thus resulting in a large number of pit latrines being built in various areas around the periphery of Georgetown, contrary to the regulations for the city.But according to Minister of Housing and Water,NFL Jerseys China, Irfaan Ali, government is currently developing a plan to regularise squatting areas,cheap nfl jerseys, even as he pointed out that most squatting areas in the city are in fact reserves that come under the Mayor and City Council of Georgetown.With funding from the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), the water company will come into a “lump sum” which will see it proceeding with efforts geared at overhauling the entire sewage system.In this regard, advertisements for the supply of the requisite pumps have been published locally, in Trinidad and Brazil and have also been posted on the IDB and GWI websites.However, the works slated to be engaged this year will not be a complete solution to the sewage problem,Cheap NFL Jerseys, Minister Ali has admitted,cheap nfl jerseys, as it will take several years before it could be remotely reverted to its original state.In the meantime, customers will have to somehow endure a sewage system on the verge of collapse.
