Grenadian doctor Germaine Bristol will go down in history as the first non-national to undergo a kidney transplant surgery in Guyana.
Dr Bristol and her 19-year-old son Gerron travelled to Guyana early last month to have Head of the Transplant Team at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC), Dr Kishore Persaud and his team perform the harvesting and transplantation of the organ. They both underwent surgery on June 14 and it was declared a success, but not without complication.
