Georgetown Hospital performed its first scleral buckle surgeries, expanding local retinal care.
Georgetown Public Hospital in Guyana performed its first scleral buckle surgeries on February 9–13, 2026, during a week-long mission led by local ophthalmologist Dr. Arlene Bobb-Semple and U.S. specialist Dr. Krishi Peddada of the World Eye Mission.
The two procedures were part of 11 advanced retinal surgeries, marking a major step in expanding the hospital’s ability to treat retinal detachments.
The effort aimed to build local expertise, reduce overseas referrals, and improve access to specialized eye care.
