Ground Breaking Ceremony.

A total of 13 new hemodialysis centers will be constructed throughout the country by the Caja de Seguro Social (CSS), at a cost of $126 million dollars. A portion of this ammount, $30 million, are designated for the construction of infrastructure, which includes the infrastructure for the Dr. Gustavo Nelson Collado de Chitré Hospital, for which work was officially begun yesterday.

Guillermo Sáez Llorens, director of the CSS, announced that Chitré will count on a modern hemodialysis center starting in March. The center will include the implementation of a digital management system which will permit patients sufferin from chronic renal insuficiency to travel throughout the country and continue to receive treatment.
