Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation achieves zero percent mortality rate
The Babyheart team is thrilled to report that Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation has seen zero deaths among pediatric heart surgery patients from the past year! Our wonderful volunteers as well as the dedicated staff at GPHC, the LIBIN Cardiovascular Institute and the Ministry of Health in Guyana all contributed greatly to establishing this successful pediatric heart program.
