Responding to the needs of the territory in terms of Health, being prepared for the conditions of epidemic crises, but also being involved in environmental issues, these are the objectives of the two private Health establishment projects of the Guyane Santé group, presented to the public this Wednesday, March 9, 2022 in the presence of its architects. Mentioned for the first time on the occasion of the Santexpo exhibition in Paris at the end of 2020, the two structures, the Saint-Paul medipole in Cayenne and the West Guyana medipole in Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni, will offer a capacity of 30 beds each.
The projects are intended to be inclusive, sustainable, efficient, but above all prepared for the conditions of epidemic crises. A desire materialized during the health crisis linked to Covid-19, which revealed major deficiencies in terms of Health in French Guiana according to Guylène Mergerie, director of Guyane Santé, at the microphone of our colleagues from Guyane la 1ère: “ With the Covid, we had a great ambition which was to offer a quality offer for Guyanese patients. It is true that this health crisis has shown us how unsatisfactory our infrastructures are. The good lesson of this crisis was really to work for 18 months, on a program that could satisfy the patients of the territory ».
A work that led to a project ” innovative in terms of its ability to manage Covid / non-Covid flows, or contaminated / non-contaminated, because we do not know which epidemics could affect the territory a little later. So we had this ambition to offer something that will allow, whatever the problem, that we can take care of patients and that families, above all, can come and see their loved ones. ».
