MMC haalt achterstand in financiële verslaglegging volledig in

In a major milestone for institutional accountability and operational improvement, Suriname’s Drs. L. Mungra Medical Centre (MMC) has announced the full elimination of a years-long backlog in its financial reporting, completing all outstanding annual accounts for the 2020 to 2024 fiscal periods in just 10 months. The final 2024 fiscal year statement was formally handed over Tuesday to Nisha Kurban-Baboe, District Commissioner of Nickerie, during an official ceremony held in the district commissioner’s conference room. The document was presented by Heve Sibilo, acting chair of the MMC foundation board, with Zorida Mohamed, interim general director, and Surjbali Singh, interim financial director, in attendance at the event. MMC General Director Antoine Elias confirmed that the hospital will turn its attention to preparing the 2025 fiscal year report starting this coming September. The completion of all five outstanding annual accounts wraps up an intensive, cross-team recovery project that the institution says would not have been possible without close collaboration between MMC’s executive leadership, foundation board, and all finance staff involved in the cleanup effort. Before this project, gaps in up-to-date financial reporting left the hospital without a clear, current picture of its fiscal standing. By resolving these backlogs, MMC now has access to complete, timely financial data that will strengthen organizational transparency and accountability. This solid financial foundation is also set to enable more responsible fiscal management, data-driven strategic decision-making, and further progress in expanding and professionalizing the hospital’s core healthcare services. Leadership from both the executive team and the foundation board has publicly extended gratitude to every staff member and stakeholder who contributed to crossing this finish line. With the reporting backlog fully cleared, MMC marks a critical turning point on its path to becoming a financially stable, fully transparent, and future-ready healthcare institution prepared to serve the Nickerie region for years to come.
