The government’s plan to expand specialised healthcare has entered its next phase, with the Ministry of Health inviting contractors to bid to construct a new neurological centre in Region Four.
The project follows the government’s announcement earlier this year that it would establish the facility to provide specialised treatment for patients suffering from strokes, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries and neuromuscular disorders.
The government allocated $1.1 billion for the facility in the 2026 budget as part of efforts to reduce the need for patients to seek advanced neurological care overseas and strengthen Guyana’s specialised healthcare system.
The new centre is expected to improve access to long-term neurological rehabilitation and complement the government’s broader investments in modern hospitals, advanced diagnostic equipment and expanded specialist healthcare services countrywide.
The Ministry of Health said bids must be submitted to the National Procurement and Tender Administration Board at Main and Urquhart Streets in Georgetown. Electronic submissions are not permitted.
Interested contractors can purchase bidding documents from the Ministry of Health. The bids will be opened in the presence of the bidder’s representatives or anyone who chooses to attend the exercise scheduled for July 9, 2026.
