The Lucía Íñiguez Landín Clinical Surgical Hospital of Holguín develops an extensive investment program to boost its maintenance and repairs work for the benefit of the medical care of the population.
 
Dr. Luis Manuel García, director of the facility, highlighted among the actions being carried out, the remodeling of the microbiology and clinical laboratories, the waiting center for the patients' companions, the hematology room and the emergency room.

According to García, the investment project includes the construction of a geriatric facility to expand the coverage of patients over 60 years of age, due to the high rate of population aging registered in this eastern province.

Before the end of the year, a general maintenance program will be carried out in the operations room, with the gradual growth of the surgical activity experienced by this health institution and a remodeling of the entrance hall.

He also referred to the restoration works planned in the hospitalization and medicine rooms, the completion of three rooms for the isolation of the arboviruses and the construction of the waste treatment system and the oxidation lagoons.

The Lucía Íñiguez Clinical Surgical Hospital, founded at the end of November 1998, according to the historical leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro, as a reward and encouragement to the people of Holguín, has managed in just 20 years of its foundation to become one of the most prestigious facilities of its type in the country. / ACN
