The Guam Memorial Hospital Authority (GMHA) announced a temporary suspension of vascular surgeries Friday afternoon, citing precautionary measures to maintain patient safety and uphold its standards of care.
According to GMHA, the pause follows the pending replenishment of essential vascular supplies, which are expected to arrive next week. Once the new supplies are received, vascular procedures are projected to resume promptly.
Hospital officials emphasized that no patients have been adversely affected by this temporary measure, nor is any impact anticipated. Medical teams are continuing to manage patient care using alternative interventions and treatments to ensure uninterrupted service.
All other hospital departments and procedures remain fully operational, with no disruptions reported beyond the vascular unit.
GMHA reaffirmed its commitment to patient safety, transparency, and quality healthcare for the community, thanking residents for their understanding during the brief suspension. Further updates will be shared if needed.
