RMI Guyana’s new medical clinic in Georgetown is poised to play a vital role in supporting the nation’s burgeoning oil and gas sector. Located at the GYSBI Industrial Estate, the clinic is led by a dedicated team of local medical professionals, whose intent is to deliver world-class medical services. Driven by a shared vision, Dr Leah Niles-George and Dr Vanita Ally, the clinic’s owners and shareholders, have tirelessly worked to establish this crucial healthcare resource for the community that is locally owned and operated by Guyanese nationals.
The opening of RMI Guyana clinics marks an exciting opportunity to deliver world-class medical care for both the local Guyanese community and the country’s growing offshore industries.
Dr Vanita Ally said: “The recent oil discovery is a huge opportunity for Guyana’s economy, and we need to ensure that we are providing excellent healthcare to the workers who will be operating offshore. Their wellbeing will be paramount to the successful growth of the industry, and we are confident that this new clinic will provide an essential service to businesses and individuals. We have made sure that the clinic is fully stocked and equipped with all the capabilities needed to do this.”
RMI Guyana provides a central in-country medical solution to the rapidly expanding petroleum, construction, mining and manufacturing industries entering the market, with the clinic staffed by internationally trained local doctors and nurses who are determined to ensure that the clinic is seen as a gold standard of medical care in the country.
Dr Leah added: “This clinic will provide high-quality care to workers from across the world operating in the remote and challenging conditions offshore. Our medical facility is offering a range of provisions including urgent, primary and secondary care, and occupational health, with all of our solutions tailored to the organisations that require it. We are also working to provide outreach campaigns that will reach some of the more remote workers and families in the regional mining communities.”
Dr Vanita continued: “I think that RMI Guyana will have a great impact on the community. I believe that the clinic can be a positive force in shifting mindsets, delivering education and breaking down stigmas that permeate around certain conditions culturally. Our ambition is for the community to recognise the value of high-quality medical care, while also opening the door to collaborate with other local are providers to share knowledge and raise standards.”
Reception of the clinic in the country has been positive and as the medical staff begin their operational duties, the success of the clinic in establishing itself as a prime service to the community is evident.
Dr Leah concluded: “The feedback that we have had so far has been really positive. People are impressed with the service and the equipment we have here to serve them. We have also been working within some of the indigenous communities here in Guyana, using satellite clinics and volunteers to offer medical treatments and health awareness initiatives which I think will become an important and well received offering as we establish ourselves in Guyana. We look forward to supporting the growing industries and community in Georgetown and are optimistic that our success can continue in the long term.”
RMI’s Guyana new Country Manager, Chris Fernandes, brings extensive operational experience from the military, security, intelligence and investigation, and tech sectors both locally and internationally. Chris said: “At the forefront of Guyana’s dynamic growth, RMI Guyana is a dedicated partner providing top-tier medical, security, and HSE solutions customized to the unique requirements of businesses across the nation. Our unwavering pursuit of excellence and adherence to global standards is complemented by our deep commitment to empowering Guyanese professionals and nurturing local development.”
