At the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC), strengthening healthcare delivery across its network remains a primary focus. Among its four primarcare facilties, the Festival City Polyclinic recently achieved yet another goal: improving healthcare efficiency. With the installation of a 600 KVA industrial generator. Commissioned on 21 February 2026, the generator supplies 220/120 volts and marks a major investment in service continuity and patient care at the Polyclinic.

Before installation, power outages often disrupted clinic operations, resulting in limited water supply, equipment downtime, and, at times, the difficult decision to reschedule patients. In some cases, nurses had to relocate to areas with natural light to continue providing vaccinations and essential services. These interruptions not only disrupted the workflow but also delayed healthcare delivery. Today, that situation has changed. With the generator installed, Festival City Polyclinic can continue working smoothly during power outages. Clinics no longer need to pause, patients no longer have to be turned away, and services can carry on without interruption. The daily flow of care, from consultations to pharmacy services, now proceeds as planned, regardless of external power issues. The impact of this installation extends further, with the recent rollout of the Electronic Health Records (EHR) system at the Polyclinic. Physicians, nurses, and pharmacy staff now depend heavily on digital documentation and electronic prescriptions to provide efficient, coordinated care. A stable power supply is crucial to maintaining this modern system. The generator ensures that the EHR remains fully operational, protecting the clinic’s digital transformation and safeguarding the continuity of patient records and prescriptions. More than just equipment, the new generator represents resilience and progress. It showcases GPHC’s dedication to modernising healthcare delivery, strengthening infrastructure, and improving the patient experience.
