The Health Ministry has commenced dialysis services at the Lima Regional Hospital, marking another significant milestone in the Government of Guyana’s continued efforts to expand access to specialised and essential healthcare services across the country.

For the first time, patients requiring dialysis treatment can now access the service at the Lima Regional Hospital. Following the completion of the necessary preparations and installation of equipment, the facility has transitioned to active patient care, with the first two patients, Rodwell Stewart and Hillary Allen, successfully receiving dialysis treatment.

The introduction of dialysis services at the hospital forms part of the Ministry’s broader strategy to expand access to renal replacement therapy and decentralise specialised healthcare services.
