The Guyana Office for Investment (GO-Invest) has announced the successful facilitation of a major local investment by Neurospine Services Inc., valued at nearly G$1 billion upon completion of all phases, which is expected to generate more than 50 new jobs and significantly expand Guyana’s advanced medical care capacity.
According to GO-Invest, the project will establish a state-of-the-art, internationally certified Institute of Neurological Sciences and Rehabilitative Centre, representing a major expansion of specialised healthcare services in the country.
A second phase of development will include a 150-room nursing home and a medical storage and logistics complex, further strengthening Guyana’s healthcare infrastructure.
The planned facilities will offer advanced services in neurosciences, brain and spinal care, rehabilitative medicine, and geriatric nursing care. The investment will improve access to highly specialised treatment while reducing the need for patients to travel overseas for complex procedures.
The project is being led by renowned neurosurgeon Dr. Amarnauth Dukhi, whose work has been instrumental in advancing neurosurgical care locally. The development will result in the first standalone neurological centre in the Caribbean, capable of delivering top-tier spinal and brain procedures previously unavailable in the region.
Beyond meeting domestic demand, the facility is expected to support regional referral services, positioning Guyana as an emerging hub for specialised healthcare within the Caribbean. This regional role aligns with the country’s broader strategy to attract high-value, knowledge-based investments.
The project also supports the Government of Guyana’s ongoing healthcare transformation agenda, which includes the construction and upgrading of regional and speciality hospitals, expansion of diagnostic and treatment services, investment in digital health systems, and the decentralisation of care to improve nationwide access.
Head of GO-Invest, Peter Ramsaroop, said the agency is pleased to support the investment, describing specialised healthcare as a growing and strategic sector for the economy.
“Speciality healthcare is a vital and expanding area of investment. Projects of this nature create meaningful employment while elevating the quality and availability of medical services for Guyana and the wider region,” Ramsaroop said.
The development will also include a dedicated rehabilitation centre and a paediatric care institute, supported by advanced diagnostic technology. Among the planned equipment is the region’s first GE Healthcare SIGNA Champion 1.5T wide-bore MRI machine, featuring AI-enabled imaging capabilities.
Construction is progressing on schedule, with the facility expected to become operational by mid-2026.
