The main problems related to the services at the Doctor Agostinho Neto General Hospital were addressed in the 11th ordinary session of the Municipal Assembly of People’s Power in Guantanamo, by the Permanent Working Commission of Education, Health, Administration, Sports, Culture and Scienceof the control and supervision of the operation in the largest healthcare center in the province.
Taking into account what is read in the report and the opinions of the municipal delegates, Luis Alberto Ramírez Díaz, director of the hospital center, said that the institution is already working on the repair and maintenance of facilities based on the contract established with the VALBO Company.
Capital repairs have not been carried out for more than 40 years, however, there are several areas in which investment actions began, currently halted due to a cement deficit. The Cuban parliamentarian also recognizes that work must be done on medical ethics.
He also said that the hospital managed to propose the strategic development plan until 2030, with operational objectives that include the repair of rooms 4G, 3H, guardroom and the hemodialysis room, the latter already completed with top-level equipment.
Today there is a high demand for surgical services, with priority in oncology. In order to achieve that result, the list is organized by date, order of arrival and specific need.
The diagnostic means are quite affected. Some of this equipment is technologically obsolete, that is, there is no longer a market where similar parts and pieces can be purchased.
Ramírez Díaz concluded that the control carried out by the People’s Power commission has been very timely, from which he expects support in solving the identified difficulties.
