8th General Surgery team arrives in Bartica today.

For the first time in the history of Bartica Hospital, a team of physicians will perform major surgery at the facility. Headed by long time RAM volunteer Dr Gan Maddiwar, the team of visiting professionals will partner with the Ministry of Health and local providers to deliver services to the interior mining town.

This is the first time the RAM surgical team has been invited to Region Seven after many successful expeditions in the Rupununi district.

Outlying indigenous communities also stand to benefit as clients from the Upper Mazaruni district are being flown in via the RAM air-ambulance aircraft to perhaps repair a debilitating hernia or remove a mass.

Special thanks to the Regional Health Services, and Hospital administration and staff for making this mission possible

Stand by for updates.
