About GHTK - Giving Health to Kids

Guyana Help The Kids (GHTK) was established in 2007 and is a registered Canadian Charity with the goal of decreasing the neonatal and infant mortality in developing countries. During the visits of Dr. Narendra Singh and his wife Dr. Shirley Sit to Guyana, they were saddened to learn of the percentage of neonatal deaths occurring at the Hospitals in Guyana. In addition, they saw that the NICUs (Neonatal Intensive Care Units) were poorly equipped and lacked life-saving equipment that is standard in NICUs in Canada. Dr. Singh and Dr. Sit made it their goal to help the country of Dr. Singh’s birth improve on the care and treatment of babies and children by creating the Vision of GHTK “Every Child deserves a Tomorrow”. This could only be done by working with the various government agencies in Guyana, together with the hospitals involved in providing the health care to babies and their families. The initial work of GHTK was focused at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) with the opening of a new neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), the establishment of an innovative pediatric residency program and neonatal nursing program, which has now expanded to include five other hospitals in Guyana. Further expansion to include an NICU in the remaining two hospitals in Guyana is currently underway. The goal is that by the end of 2019, each hospital in Guyana will have a fully equipped NICU. Since the inception of GHTK, infant mortality has been reduced by 40%.
