The RAM 4x4 Bedford truck is officially on the road here in Guyana. It was dispatched from Georgetown to our base in Lethem on Saturday morning early with a load of supplies and equipment as well as a large shipment of drugs and related boxes from the Ministry of Health for Region 9.
The truck has been recently outfitted with a new canopy featuring zippered windows and end panels, an AC inverter to run critical appliances and chargers as well as upholstered seating for the tray. The truck will be serving some of the most remote villages in country with a variety of health services packaged with HIV testing, counseling and education.
The RAM Bedford truck is pictured here loaded and ready to depart the capital city for the interior of Guyana. Our first RPH mission is scheduled this week in partnership with Eye Care Guyana. A team of nine eye specialists will be transported with the RAM Bedford to the deep south of the Rupununi district. The mission will additionally serve as an initial test run of sorts as we continue to develop our team and network to deliver an increasing diversity of services.
