Insights
Hess has extended its partnership with the Government of Guyana and Mount Sinai Health System for five additional years, continuing a national healthcare initiative launched in 2022. The partnership aims to transform Guyana's public health system by 2030, with Hess and the Guyanese government jointly funding the initiative.
The extension builds on measurable progress from the initiative's first phase, which implemented over 35,000 child health screenings and established advanced pathology services. The next phase includes developing a national cancer center, modernizing health facilities, and implementing a sophisticated digital health system.
While specific financial commitments aren't disclosed, this represents a significant non-operational investment by Hess in Guyana. The company has valuable energy assets in Guyana, and this partnership likely strengthens Hess's relationship with the Guyanese government - potentially providing operational stability in a region of strategic importance.
For investors, the initiative demonstrates Hess's commitment to sustainable business practices through social development in communities where it operates. Healthcare infrastructure investment in developing regions can foster governmental goodwill and community support, potentially benefiting Hess's long-term operations in the country.

The next phase of the national initiative will be organized around the Government’s vision for six key pillars:
-
World Class Cancer Care: Establish a first-in-class national cancer center to screen and treat breast, cervical, prostate and other common cancers that cause the most deaths in
Guyana . The first phase of cancer services will expand much-needed access to cancer screening, diagnostic and treatment options; the second phase will offer advanced tertiary oncology services to the entire community inGuyana . - Women’s and Children’s Hospital: Ensure Guyana’s new National Women’s and Children’s Hospital meets international quality standards, is well-managed, and ready to provide high-quality care for all of Guyana’s women and children.

Community-Centered Care: Complete the transformation of health systems across Guyana’s regions to ensure everyone in
Guyana , especially youth and vulnerable people, can receive health screenings, primary care treatment, and supportive services – creating a supportive health ecosystem across the country. - Quality Improvement: Implement a national program to improve the quality, safety, and delivery of health services – from Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC), the country’s largest hospital, to regional hospitals to every health center and post. These initiatives will provide a strong foundation for the growth of a high-quality, modern health system that provides unparalleled care for all.
- Digital Health: Support the implementation of Guyana’s first national electronic health records system and complete the foundations for one of the most advanced digital health systems in the region and the world by 2030.
- Capacity Building: Ensure critical health workforce needs are met by continuing capacity building in health workforce development, resource planning, management, and financing.

Since this national healthcare initiative’s launch in July 2022, significant progress is being made in improving health outcomes. Key accomplishments include:
- Over 35,000 Guyanese children have had comprehensive health screenings completed by the Ministry of Health, with around a quarter referred on for needed services to address vision, hearing, dental, and developmental problems and more.

New digital protection laws are in place to support the rollout of new digital health systems, and a new
Guyana digital health training institute will enroll its first class of digital health professionals early next year. - A state-of-the-art pathology lab has reduced the time it takes for patients to be diagnosed and receive life-saving treatments.
