Mobile X-Ray services available in Reg. 9 for the first time

For the first time, Mobile X-Ray services are available to residents of Region Nine through the Lethem Regional Hospital.

"We are thrilled to announce that the residents of North Rupununi are the first to benefit from this incredible service," the Hospital said in a Facebook post.

The medical facility said specialist outreaches will be conducted across the region, ensuring that other villages will also have access to this vital healthcare service.

"This is a huge step forward in fulfilling the government's commitment to providing healthcare services to all citizens, breaking down barriers related to location, age, socioeconomic background, gender, or disability," the hospital concluded.

At approximately 20:33 hrs, on January 31, 2025, firefighters responded to a fire that was supposedly caused by a two-burner gas stove left unattended with contents in a pot, at Stall 22 D. Stelling View, Stabroek Market. The stall which measures 5 x 3 meters and is owned by Michael Hughes aged 74 of Lot 133 Friendship, East Coast Demerara, did not incur any damages.

The fire was extinguished by passersby who turned off the gas bottle and disposed of the lit pot through a window that was left opened.

Guyana Fire Service is once again appealing to the public to desist from leaving gas stoves unattended when in use, and to ensure all gas cylinders are turned off when not in use.
