Minister of Health, Jimmy Prince, says the Ministry of Health will acquire three (3) additional haemodialysis machines to help reduce the strain on the Modern Medical and Diagnostic Centre in Georgetown.

In an interview with the Agency for Public Information (API), Minister Prince explained that the machines will be placed at the Evesham Health Centre, providing haemodialysis services to patients in Marriaqua and surrounding areas.

Currently, seventy-one (71) patients are receiving haemodialysis treatment free of cost at the Modern Medical and Diagnostic Centre.

The government spends approximately 75,000 dollars per year, per patient, amounting to about 5 million dollars annually.
