Pese awaits new Minsa Primary Care Center

An investment of more than $5 million dollars in the construction of a new Primary Care Center is the hope that residents of the Pese District and surrounding areas have to improve medical services in the region.

Willam Lao, president of the Asociación de Jubilados de Pesé, is awaiting after many years the construction of the Primary Care Center, as the area has lacked a hospital that provides medical and emergency services. He affirmed that patients will now be attended to in Pese, rather than the Chitre Hospital.

The Ministry of Health confirmed that the project is 30% complete, and will benefit the areas of Pese, Los Pozos, and parts of Parita.
