Bed-sharing at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) is expected to be a thing of the past with the highly commissioning of its multi-million dollar in-patient facility yesterday.With pomp and fanfare, the state of the art facility, said to be valued at $1.6 billion was commissioned. The facility comes as part of the efforts to help enhance the delivery of health care.The realization of the facility which was under construction for the past three years represents a collaborative effort between the government and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) aimed at improving health care.The GPHC had come under much flack in the past for its service delivery, including its limited capacity to adequately accommodate patients, a trend officials believe will be effectively reversed with the new facility.After ceremoniously unveiling the plaque and cutting the ribbon to officially commission the facility, President Bharrat Jagdeo assured that more resources will be dedicated to the health sector to ensure that only the best quality care is made available.He pointed out that as the country progresses economically so too will the capacity to expand the delivery of health care. “I anticipate that this will continue to happen but it is not just about building new buildings, it is about good policies and what happens with the agencies themselves.”An external view of the state of the art facilityThe President urged the hospital administrators to ensure that they focus on patient-friendly care and accountability. “First of all value for money; we have to make sure that in a country like ours  that we get the maximum value for every dollar that we spend,Wholesale NFL Jerseys, particularly in health care.”The new facility, according to Chief Executive Officer Michael Khan, has a 202-bed capacity including isolation rooms.  All rooms, he said, are outfitted with individual oxygen, vacuum and compressed air outlets.Thus far there are eight isolation rooms for patients with communicable diseases, four quiet rooms for grieving relatives or those who wish to offer prayers, public washroom facilities and service elevators for transporting patients.  The lobby area, according to Khan,NFL Jerseys Paypal, will soon be furnished with comfortable seating and entertainment set for visitors.The second flat,Wholesale Jerseys, he explained,NFL Jerseys China Cheap, currently accommodates the female medical and surgical wards, while the first flat will soon house the male medical and surgical wards.

Other support from the IDB was also plugged into the construction of the Linden Hospital Complex which was commissioned in December 2009, all aimed at improving the institutional capacity of the health sector.Edwards further reaffirmed the commitment of IDB to support the development of the health sector yesterday adding that “we welcome further opportunities to deepen our relationship in this area.”
