(Kaieteur News) – Four children born with serious heart conditions have successfully undergone surgery at the Indraprastha Apollo Hospital in New Delhi, India, the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) has announced.
In a statement, GPHC said the surgeries were performed after the children were referred overseas for specialised treatment that could not be safely provided in Guyana.
The hospital explained that five patients were initially taken to India for assessment and treatment. Following evaluations by specialists, four were deemed suitable for surgery, while the fifth was found to have a condition too complex to operate on.
