Effective Immediately Fees Remove for Knee & Hip Replacement Surgeries at Georgetown Public Hospital

Patients seeking Knee and Hip Replacement surgeries, as well as Revision procedures, can now benefit from the expertise of the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation’s (GPHC’s) skilled medical professionals and facilities without any financial burden.

The GPHC, in a statement dated October 26, announced the immediate removal of fees for the named surgeries, including revision procedures.  The hospital stated previously there was a subsidised cost associated with Knee and Hip Replacement surgeries and revisions were not available within the hospital’s services.

However, following a proposal from the hospital management to the Board of Directors, the decision to remove all charges for these vital procedures was accepted, ensuring that patients can now receive high-quality medical care without the burden of financial constraints, GPHC announced.

This decision, the hospital stated, is part of its ongoing commitment to providing accessible and comprehensive healthcare services to the public. By offering these procedures free of charge, the hospital aims to improve the quality of life for individuals suffering from knee and hip joint morbidity, enabling them to lead active and pain-free lives.

“We are dedicated to prioritising the well-being of our patients and ensuring that they have access to the best possible medical treatments,” said Mr. Robbie Rambarran, CEO at GPHC. “This initiative aligns with our mission to serve the public and make healthcare services accessible for everyone.”
