Executing the 11 works that are approved, and with a guaranteed budget in the economy plan, is a priority of the Health sector in Las Tunas for this year, actions that are developed in institutions located in five of the eight municipalities of this eastern province.

Las Tunas, Cuba.- Significantly, for the first time in many years there are investments in institutions in the south of the province, such as the Argentina 1 medical office in Jobabo and the incinerator of the Luis Aldana polyclinic in Amancio, said the director.

Villafruela Pupo also explained that the Surgical Unit of the Guillermo Domínguez hospital and the septic tank of the Raymundo Castro pediatric hospital, both located in the northern municipality of Puerto Padre, are among the works to be carried out this year.

Regarding the Ernesto Guevara de la Serna General Teaching Hospital, in this city, investment works in the area of Pathological Anatomy are being maintained. In contrast, the Oxygen Plant, as a work of the 2022 plan, is not included in the current plan because the sector has already delivered the civil work and only the installation and start-up by the Integral Automation Company (CEDAI) and the Gases Las Tunas Base Business Unit is missing, he stressed.

Another object that is in the same condition and will have a tremendous social impact - he added - is Diagnostic Means at the Mártires de Las Tunas pediatric hospital, a place that only requires the installation of air conditioning and x-ray equipment; likewise, the provincial institution is committed to continuing with the materialization of its Maternity Hospital.

Two maternity homes, a grandparents' home, and the capital repair of the Provincial Center of Hygiene, Epidemiology, and Microbiology are also included among the investments for this year, a priority of the sector to improve the quality of services and the conditions of health workers and the people in general.
