The event which was also supported by the Private Sector, begun at 9:00 hours and concluded at 15:00 hours, witnessing a massive turnout despite the occasional down pours.
Speaking with iNews on the initiative, Head of the Guyana Defence Force Medical Corps Major Parneshwar Netram said that the GDF was very happy when they were approached by the police to partner for the initiative.
Today’s medical outreach saw residents of Albouystown benefiting from services such as dental care, pressure testing, HIV testing and counseling among other services. The Major told iNews that the medical personnel who were administering the various cares were certified medical doctors and support staff.
