This website has been set up
to overlook the medical system of Guyana. For
the last eleven years, I, Bryan Mackintosh has been writing to the newspapers in Guyana about
the decline in the quality of medical care
in Guyana. After numerous letters, we finally managed to get the Medical
Council of Guyana which was then under the
chairmanship of Dr. Walter Ramsahoye to publish the
list of specialist doctors operating in Guyana.
It is my firm belief that with the publication
of this specialist list, many doctors will be
unable to lie about their qualifications and as
such patients will be better able to evaluate
which doctor is better suited to their
particular case.
A new Medical Council is now in place for
2006/2007 and we sincerely hope that they take
the job of policing our medical system with a
lot more vigor than previous councils. The last
Medical Council of
Guyana headed by Dr. M. Y.
Bacchus appeared to be in a world of their own,
they apparently abandoned the list of
specialist doctors. It would seem that they were quite
comfortable to allow doctors regardless of their
qualifications to do as
they please on unsuspecting patients. Their
excuse? Guyana is a third world country and we
as patients should quietly allow them to do what
ever they want regardless of the outcome due
to their inexperience. This seemingly uncaring
attitude bears heavy
consequences for all Guyanese and we have to
come together to voice our combined objections
to ensure better health care for all of us.
